It says 2710 so I assume its 7 years old...Check the tire's age.
How Old — and Dangerous — Are Your Tires?

Expect that the tires are older, based on seeing the cracks.
Tire looks well worn, 7 years old, visible cracks, probably not worth cluttering up your home with this tire.It says 2710 so I assume its 7 years old...
Yeah I'll just toss it.. ThanksTire looks well worn, 7 years old, visible cracks, probably not worth cluttering up your home with this tire.
I had a set of 7 year old tires on my Sunday driver that had cracks like that. Lots of tread left, but not worth the risk. I bought new ones.Tire looks well worn, 7 years old, visible cracks, probably not worth cluttering up your home with this tire.
It's called scalloping or cupping. It can be caused by a worn out shock or an unbalanced tire.I once had a two-year old winter tire that wore in a checkerboard pattern. No shit, it had raise and depressed areas arranged like a checkerboard. The three other matching tires were fine. Any idea what could cause that?
I put it down to a manufacturing defect because I don't think any part of the suspension could cause such an unusual pattern.
Looks to have about 50% tread left.it's pretty much down to the wear bars anyway.
Actually, they're typically from transport truck retreads. The OP's tire is a long way off shedding its skin.Did you know that those long tire treads we frequently see on the highways come from tires like yours? :sad:

Did you ever end up replacing a wheel bearing on that corner? Sounds like that or a ball joint causing a weird harmonic vibration
Hmmm. Maybe an unbalanced tire. I don't think it was suspension because I rotated it and it continued to get worse. The summer's never exhibited that behaviour either. Still, I got three winters out of it before selling the car.It's called scalloping or cupping. It can be caused by a worn out shock or an unbalanced tire.
Probably bald like mine after five years,...,....the way I drive.I don't go beyond five years old the way I drive.
The "alligators" you see on the road comes from retreads on trucks. Happens in summer when tires get hot. I never use retreads.Did you know that those long tire treads we frequently see on the highways come from tires like yours? :sad:
