I've got a set of unloaded Michellin Agribib's, 18.4x34 on my larger tractor and the sidewalls have been all cracked up since I bought it 2 years ago. These are replacements the previous owner put on about 4 years ago because the last set of michellins cracked the sidewalls too. The fronts were also replaced more recently and haven't cracked yet.

Anything else I can do short term? I'm gonna see what the michellin dealer says. The tread is probably at 75%.
