No discussion about sizes/pressures/etc, just my experience...

I had two tires, left rear bogie and spare that had a few 'little' cracks starting to appear around sidewall..
was getting ready to go to the Lunch Gathering in Tulsa this FRI and was contemplating on wheter or not to drive up on them and get two tires from Glyn..(Still going to get the tires). I finally decided to get some from Justin here as he had changed to Alcoas and such.
After I pulled them off, I almost had a HA...There was a crack going at least 3/4 around the tire about 2 or 3 inches from the rim AT LEAST 1/4 wide...on both..

Glad I went ahead and replaced them..

Now I know what the 3 I's are for in GMC...

Inspect, Inspect,Inspect...
