Hi, may I know is it still safe to use tyres like this ? DOT2018 with good tread depth.

What is the reason for these cracks? Is it because they are seldom used? Since covid mileage about 6k per annum.

isn't this dry rot which is recommended to replace tyres ?

ok I've read them. Thanks.

The reason I asked the question is because I have 1 tyre with was patched recently due to screw puncture which is leaking. Its about 1cm. Definitely less than 2cm. If it can't be used then I would just change them.

Now my question, is 1-2cm hole still patchable?

Its runflat Potenza S001.

Thanks

Sorry I don't know much about tyres that's why I came here.

Its runflat S001 & I asked the car salesman & he said that I should change it & I also asked my regular tyre shop HupSoon in Subang who has been servicing me for more than 10years & he told me better change it. I also asked Hin Leong which I get my tyres from also recommended me to change for long distance driving. I'm a fast driver sometimes up to 180km/hr on long distance.

I'm thinking maybe the cracks are due to not being driven often since the pandemic & still usable. So I came here to get some opinions.

But now that I have a screw puncture about 1cm patched a month ago leaking, what is your opinion?

Thanks.
