If I bought mine new and they cracked within year or 2 I would not be happy and would ask for replacement or refund, with second hand tyres there is not much you can do.
I never considered that safety issue, I have passed MOT several times on different cars at different MOT places with similarly cracked tyres and it does not even show as advisory.

Now I am upset.
I've been paying these stupidly high prices and now I see a cheaper way, maybe. What sort of wear and ride do you get Ropberto? I have a tyre fitter some ten minutes away that is listed on this site. Am I mistaken or did I really read that bit that said "free fitting"? I remember some six years back this tyre fitter sold & fitted two tyres for me at £36 each. I arranged to return the following week for two more at the same price but the bloke was on holiday. His father was running the show and he did not look happy, muttered all the time about the price.

My experience with budget tyre has been somewhat limited but generally dry grip has been OK, wet grip very good in most cases but they always seemed to wear out very fast. So would like some more feedback from Roberto about his recommended tyres, in 245/40R19 they are £54 so about the same price as second hand set of premium tyres. Goodyears have been very poor for me, low grip and lasted for less than 6k miles. I was gong to get a set of second hand Michelins next as they have provided excellent grip for me before and seem to last very well - 20k going from 7.5 to 3mm So how hard do you drive Roberto as I find myself on the limit of grip most of time in turns and roundabouts, how long does Accelera tyres last for you in terms of years and miles.
