Has anyone heard of the Continental tyres getting cracks in the sidewalls? The car is not quite 18mths old and does not sit out in the sun.
I had the same problem with my conti,s All four tyres have cracks on the inside walls and Conti rep says under inflated they were around 32 psi, they were supposed to pick them up from and send to Sydney for checking....still waiting :

I replaced them at 20 odd k's and I found out yesterday that the new fronts have scrubbed on the inside :
