WOW! That's a pretty straight forward response from Hoosier. No PYA beating
around the bush. I'm impressed.

> Greg,
> Thanks for writing me with your concern about this cracking line on your
peedsters. This is not a concern, as this crack is the edge of the tread
ubber which is applied to the tire and then folded down onto the sidewall.
>
> Over time(new tires in Feb. 2012) this line will become more apparent to
he user.
>
> I would continue using them if the performance of the tires are still good.
here is no safety concern with this cosmetic issue.
>
> Also, I do not think storage conditions had any part of this tire sidewall
racking, just age or time.

> Any other questions, please write me.

> I have attached a photo of one of my tires on my TR3. The crack shown is
n all tires on both sidewalls in the same location relative to the distance
rom the rim. I did not see this kind of cracking on my first set of Hoosiers
urchased in 2009, but can't say that I was looking for it either. This set
as purchased in Feb '12 in Texas. They have plenty of grip left and still
how depth in the tread pattern so I was planning to use them at TWS with CVAR
n September and possibly with SVRA at COTA in Oct, then buy a new set for
ext year.
>
> I need to know if I should be concerned with this type of cracking? Is
here something that I have done to cause this? Typical storage is car on
acks, tires remained mounted with minimal pressure stored in corner of my
arage sitting on the side walls stack 4 high. I don't cover the tires while
n the garage.
