Sorry to hijack your thread, but you just reminded me of something
I have been meaning to ask for a while. :-) Speaking of sidewall
cracking, at what point should I start to worry about that? My Ram
3500 has cracks that basically form rings all the way around the tires
on the sidewall, mostly near the bead area; some of them seem quite
large. I assume they are the original tires, in which case they are
only 7 years old or so, they started out small and seem to be getting
bigger. It was a Florida/Georgia truck, so I don't know if there was
any dry rotting at play there or not. Maybe if you get a moment at
the BBQ, I can bug you to take a gander at them and let me know what
you think. :-) (Or I suppose I could snap a digital photo.)
