Even if they charged $1000 for a new tire, it is better than totaling your car if you have a blow out. BTW I am not saying they actually charge that, its an exageration. Im just saying a new tire is better than risking totaling your car and possibly hurting someone.

I'd replace it. Did you let the car sit over winter and then wash it and spiff up the wheels/tires? Because if you did, then that's probably why the crack is there. You shouldn't use Armor All or any type of tire shiner on there if it's been sitting for awhile unused.

prolly 90 percent chance it is nothing, but its real cheap insurance. less than 200 bucks to make sure you don't have a blowout.
