Smile MY 305/30/19 PS2'S HAVE DRY ROT, IS THIS NORMAL??

I have a set of 305/30/19 MICHELIN PS2 101Y tires.

THEY ARE SHOWING MINOR SLITTING AND CRACKING INBETEEN THE TREAD ALL AROUND THE TIRE, NOTHING ON THE SIDE WALL. THE TIRES ARE ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD.

IS THIS O.K.?? NORMAL??

Mine are wore out and am getting new ones this Friday but I bought my car new 14 months ago but who knows how long the car sat at the dealer or how old the tires are. I have that same cracking between the tread.

Due to the rpice of these tires...$505ea I have switched over to the Porsche N spec Bridgestones rears, same size for $145 less per tire.

good luck finding the 235/35/19 fronts unless you want to buy from the Porschee dealer...see my other thread on that bunch of BS!

So it sounds normal??

My tires themselves are 2 years old. I am jsut suprised at the cracking between the tread, the same on both rear tires.
