Only bought about 2 new batteries in my whole life!

Even a tight arse like me would be replacing those...Yep.New ones due.It looks like a severe case of ozone cracking to me.Does the car spend a bit of time parked in the street in or near an industrial area?Ozone is a heavy gas and if it is present, tends to find its way to the lowest point, like a gutter.I've never seen such a severe case though.So more likely just rubbish tyres. (Hope they're not Goodyear ).

Another 120,000m from them, no bother
Ok ok great feedback. I'm cracking up with all the wise 'cracks'.UpdateBeen to 3 places today.2 tyre only shops and 3rd garage my brother uses who do every aspect of car maintenance plus mot's.Tyre shops divided but garage was more forthcoming.As they do mot's they got tester to look for me.He said 1 was on borderline and the other ok, didn't post picture of that tyre.Said due to new mot rules looking at the 4 as a whole he would be minded to probably place as fail due to the added strain on the 4 but in particularly that 1 tyre in a emergency situations.So booked in tomorrow for 2 new Davanti tyres same as i bought 18 months as i'm pleased with their use.So now do i put new on back or front as reading online it seems mixed.

I can't imagine you being a hoon Lester, so I doubt it will matter too much. BTW, don't think you responded to my comment about a similar issue with your FD tyres. Was I right or am I imagining it?
