Cracked sidewalls on my tires?
Anyone know how/if this is serious and what would cause it?

age

even tires with 95% tread can be crap if they're old. rubber breaks down under ozone and around electro-magnetic discharge... oh and UV rays too.

Sidewalls cannot be repaired and don't drive with a damage sidewall. Buy new ones immediately. Get a pair, because you need to balance the other side as well, unless you have a full size spare.

you must get new tires! I had a cracked sidewall and it blew out on me on the 404.

Check the warrenty on the tires you have. When my went I made Toyo buy me a new one.
