That happened this weekend. I also noticed a slight crack or split on the sidewall about 1 centimeter long although it doesn't seem deep (it may have been there before my other half drove it) - is this something I should get checked out? I don't want to go somewhere to ask them to check it and look a complete prat 'cause there's nothing to worry about. I don't know if I should only be concerned about a crack that is deep or if you can tell how deep the crack is by the width of it?
Whilst on the subjects of cracks, my front tyres are getting quite worn but not quite down to the low tread marks yet but there is cracking on the outer part of the tread - as the tread meets the sidewall. The cracks don't seem to deep at the moment, but I'm never sure when it's bad enough to get replaced. Any advice without going to a tyre fitter every time? I don't want to replace these tyres if there's a little more mileage left in them.
Thanks
