What I really meant to say was that since the Kuhmo sidewalls
cracked, I've driven to LA and back, I've driven the autox
school, and I've had numerous excursions up and down Hwy. 35, and
up and down Hwy 1 to Mendocino or down to Monterey. In short, a
few thousand miles of driving on the cracked sidewalls and no
problems _yet_.
I do keep that spare fully inflated just in case. . . but I think
the Kuhmos are OK with cracked sidewalls
