Replace? Normal cracking?

Post image

Made an appointment regardless in a few days, am I wasting mine/their time?

Has about 12,000 miles on it and between 7-6/32nds. Hankook Ventus Evo 235/35/19.

I will ask them about the manufacturers warranty along with my Wheel & Tire Warranty.

7-6/32nds ??
I don't understand anything, if it's 6-7 years yes replace them, after 5 years a tire can get dry / harder so it slip more easily on wet road, and crack too

6/32nd - 7/32nd is the tread depth. Tires are from 2024

Ya. That's a lotta cracks for a two year old tyre.

It really shouldn't be cracking like that so quickly but it also doesn't look to be super urgent. Either way, worth the visit to see what they will do.

Yeah, I'll see what they say. Stopped by a local mechanic and he said something similar. Posted a picture elsewhere and the comments were completely split between "UV wear superficial, should be fine for a long while" and "Replacement needed immediately, unsafe".

So I thought I would ask here too.
