Would not think Goodyears fall into that category...no matter my opinions of there "p word" stances.

The japanese rubber beetle? No, that looks like a retread to me.

I looked at the picture for a date code and did not see one. It may not be when the OP bought them but rather when they were made.

Yes I would be looking for the date code also.

Recently bought a trailer with 2013 Maxxis radial tires on it. They all looked good until I brought it home. It had been sitting for 2yrs in the shade. How ever I found cracks in one pair and decided to replace them all.

I'm a Firestein person. Only tire that will stop on a dime and pick it up for you.........

I was trying to figure that out this morning, bought the trailer new in '11 and this is the second set of tires. I think six years ago? Not totally sure.

Here's some pics I grabbed this morning as I was leaving for work. Bad ones, the one with cracks is how the one with separation looked before the drive and doesn't seem any worse on that one. The good ones look fine.

Ouch!

Also could be an 'overheat' condition that causes this type separation. Maybe brakes on those overheated?

I have had great luck with Goodyear endurance & Maxxis trailer tires.The goodyears are made in the good old USA.

Could be age. I change my trailer tires every 4 years, 5 max.
