There has been a significant rise in the number of cracked tyres being reported, as cars have been sat dormant during the Covid-19 pandemic
With these vehicles being left unused, the protective chemicals in their tyres’ sidewalls were no longer replenished, leaving them vulnerable.
A spokesman told Autocar: “During the pandemic, we saw the number of tyres showing signs of sidewall cracking increase significantly. “As premature cracking on mounted tyres is typically a result of underuse, it would seem that the pandemic has been a factor, with many cars being used very little, if at all, for months on end.”
