that is some serious side wall defect. Is the tire dried out and cracked or was it molded badly ?

when you look carefully to the pictures, it seems that there is a kind of "scratch" due to air bubbles on the side on the tyre, this could be due to a bad injection of the plastic in the mould, which means there is no enough plastic for the tyre and a fatigue crack appears hence the crack

You can go ahead and send them both to gis, since he was the one looking for them. I was only commenting that he had a good idea. :wave:

Oh, well thank you, that's very kind. But I think gis is looking for all he can get, and I think I have a few extras already, so he can have both of them.
