Tires Cracking....
I noticed the other day, that my wifes tires are starting to crack on the outside lugs of all 4 tires. They are th e 20" Bridgestone's with 36xxx miles and they are only 2 years old, what gives? I thought B'stones were better than this?!!

Did you use Armor All on the regularly. If so that is why. Tire shines that a high in silicone react with exhaust gases causing the tires to crack.

I have bridgestones on my truck, already lost 1 to dryrot, had I not been so excited to buy the truck last year I would have had the dealer put on new tires on, the other 3 are cracking horribly.
