That's not unusual for a Michelin/BFG/Uniroyal. I don't know what it is about their rubber (All 3 are owned by Michelin) but they weather check real bad. Car tires, light truck tires, medium truck tires. It's just what they do. I don't know if its ozone, uv rays, or what.

I've never had a problem with All Terrains. They're cracking between the tread? Are they over-inflated?

I love T/As, but I don't get into alot of mud around here. My son has Nitto mud tires on his RAM and they work great, but they're wearing fast. He says they work much better than the Mud Terrain T/As he used to have.

same, ive never had any problems with my BFGs, neither has my dad with his two sets. what PSI you got them at?

where exactly is the weathering at? is it at the top of the sidewall or actually on top of the tire as you stand above it and look down?

I've been running nothing but BFG's on any of my trucks since back in the 90's. Never had an issue, and they wear well, especially for off road tires. As soon as my screw needs tires, it'll get BFGs too.

Along the first groove from the outside? Not any of the rest of the tread? Is it on both the inside of the tire and the outside of the tire?
