You SSR Fanatics with 2003 and 2004 R's with the original front tires should get em checked at your local tire service center before doing any crusing this summer! Mine were cracked (from age) and not noticeable untill I had the wheels removed from the R and the tires inspected.
No charge at most tire centers for inspection!

I have an easy solution....



Just drive it enough so that you have to replace them before they dry rot!

Great video! That said and the way our front tires ride on the inside edges over time make the danger hard to see on our R's!
