Tread cracks on BFG K02 (1 Viewer)

[HemiAlex]

I bought five of these in March 2017 shortly after I lifted the truck.

They've been great to me. Never had a flat or an issue. I’ve got about 30,000-35,000 miles on them.

I’ve noticed these tread cracks on all the tires.

Have you all seen this before?

Pretty sure that is just the rubber aging and now the "dry out" or "dry rot" process starts. What is the mfg. date on the tires @HemiAlex ??

3/17. A month before I bought them.

Wow... that is pretty bad for only 2yr old tires. Another example of BFGs failing???

4wp knocked it out of the park fixing this. Their warranty is great. BFG wanted to make a big deal of this, lots of paperwork, waiting and being locked to BFG tires still.

4wp prorated the tires, I got about half my original purchase price back and I put the credit to a set of Toyo Open country MT.

They’re awesome, and I’ll never buy another BFG product again. Plus my tires were way below advertised height.

255/85r16 on a 70 series 16x6.

I had a set of BFG all terrain tyres years ago , NEVER again .
after 1 year the rubber got very hard , and dangerous on wet surface .
as new they were great , but they age badly .
i am also on Toyo mud 255/85/16 .
very happy so far .
must say that the BFG mud is not ageing badly as AT .

just my 2 cents

I love BFG's.
Never any issues on my 80, 4Runner, or my old F250, and Excursion.
I rotate every 5k and easily get 60k out of a set.

I've been very pleased with the BFG's also.

The cracking I see is very typical of most all BFG tires I have seen. My KM2s look just like that.

Any reports blow outs because of this issue?
