I put on the TR6 four and a spare new tires 165/80x15 HR prior to re registering as a Historic Vehicle here in Spain in 2017. Since the completed restoration in 2017 it has travelled minimum mileage approximately 7,000 Kms about 4,500 miles. I had occasion the take the wheels off the car to clean them and the tires, to keep the same appearance as the rest of the car and noticed to my dismay and worry that nearly all the road tires were showing signs of cracking around the inside wall of the tires..They are correctly looked after wheel covers on the tires increased tire pressures on lay up thought the TR is used on average once a month.
I have notified both the On-line sellers 1001Nuematicos but they have not responded at all. Vredestein are burying their head in the sand. I have also sent photos of the tires.to them both I wouldn't deal with either of them again.
Why should I have to buy new tires after 5 years?
