    Hi, anyone know if these will fail an nct?,

    Tyres are 4 years old with 12k km on them, dunlop on a 162 yaris.

    There is about 6mm of thread left on them, side walls are perfect, but they have cracks in the grips, anyone have similar and pass the nct test?

    Pub talk. There is absolutely zero truth to that old wives tale.

    Maybe nothing to do with the tyres, but definitely has to to do with 1, 2, 3 or more years and miles wear and tear on suspension and steering parts / alignment.

    This thread is nearly as old as the tyres.

    Still a valid question!, that tyre has been like that for 18 months, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get that same brand again, I think it was the hot summer of 2018 when the cracks first appeared, all four are like that but one of the front tyres has side wall damage so I'll probably put two new ones one and chance the back two.
