It is not uncommon for cheaper tyres to show surface cracks after a few years of use, however it is always best practice to get them inspected by a profession to ensure they are still safe to use.

Bought 4 tyres in 2021, 50,000+ miles and 3 years laters they're only just getting near the legal limit (front) and passed all MOTs. They're a bit noisy but that's my only complaint.

Tyres are 6 and 5 years old done 15k 5mm tread left but perished and dangerous. Failed MOT had to change the fronts a year earlier. Avoid not worth the money tyres dated 5217 and 0818

The tyres have had little use but are 2 years old and have perished badly. The walls and tread have deep cracks and the complete valve blew out of one of the tyres when inflating by foot pump. I would rate them as dangerous unless you change them every year.

These tyres are two years old and have at least 5mm of tread left.On the outer third of the tyres the rubber has very deep cracks and will not pass an MOT. I have sent these details to Prestivo as these have a so called lifetime guarantee but they do not respond. These tyres are unsafe and its worth paying a few pounds more and buying something safe.

not very challenging scores I know but I have been really impressed by these tyres, only on rear (non driving) wheels, so not tested as they would be on driving wheels, but for quite low profile tyres on 18 rims, they are far more comfortable and quiet that I ever expected.
No issues with London potholes or country grip in Surrey. Recommended.

Have acquired a 2011 Renault Espace with the Prestivo PV-S1's on the front. Have done 2K miles since then & found mixed results. Don't know how old they are but feel they are degrading somewhat quick. Better suited to a smaller, lighter vehicle than two ton Tessie from Teddington! Good grip in wet or dry but feel every bump in the road. Believe they may be Yokohama's. Plenty of central tread depth left but outer 'shoulder' seems to be wearing down more quickly. Also my NSF has a tendency to go soft on me over 3 days. Will look into that tomorrow. ?Slow puncture, faulty bead/valve, old age, don't know. It's not a bad tyre, maybe not the best for a 2 ton Espace. Can't take a chance with tyres if carrying 7 people.
