Aero Classic Tires

Just passing on this Vans warning:

 

 

Aero classic tires sidewall cracking | Van’s Air Force

 

😈

[Reynard]

“There is published criteria for "weather" cracks on side walls and tread areas, you may find that these tires are airworthy.“

 

Any idea where this ‘published criteria’ info would be found ?

It can be found on the FAA Advisory Circular 20-97B, below - see pages 6 and 7.

As a general guide for all tyres, if sidewall cracking, or tread cuts, enable the tyre carcass cords to become visible, the tyre should be replaced.
