Knobs are coming off my rear wild enduro. As well as the cracks…This. Knobs fall off long before they get a chance to crack.

First up - I have no knowledge of rubber or Michelin tyres.It's the compound of the rubber that they're made from, and it's been a known issue for a while. Most people will say that they're good because they replace them before 500km and they chern that over in a few months.

Might also be worthwhile in the future to ensure that your tyres are meticulously cleaned, oiled & kept in a dark place if the bike needs to be stored for an extended period.I've done a little looking around and finding numerous others with the same issue, with both their Enduro and DH tyre ranges... Some even after their first ride!
Apparently Michelin don't deal with consumers when it comes to bike tyres, and it's up to the retailer to lodge a claim - so the ball is in Pushys' court.
They'll probably say no dice as it's been over a year and it's a 'consumable' item, but it can't hurt to try considering the circumstances around lacking ride opportunities throughout the Vic Metro lockdown madness of the last two years.
Hardly surprising when looking at their bicycle tyre website.Apparently Michelin don't deal with consumers when it comes to bike tyres.
Well I guess they are just shit tyres then, lesson learnt for you.Excuses for a tyre cracking like this, not Michelin m8.
M8 don't let the facts get in the way of a shit tyre story.Interesting pointers here on caring for rubber.
Why does rubber dry rot?

Getting real tyred of your shit buddyToo muck schralping, chigs.
Interesting read - and these do certainly fall under 'lack of use', but to me it's no different to them sitting in a picking bay or bin within a warehouse for a year - which 9.9 times out of 10 probably wouldn't result in deterioration despite being a part of the same environmental changes as being in my shed.Interesting pointers here on caring for rubber.

Don’t tread on me! Get a grip, mate.Getting real tyred of your shit buddy
No need to be a knob about it, you'll only compound the issue.Don’t tread on me! Get a grip, mate.
Excess UV rays, oxygen and heat prematurely deteriorates rubber, but the quality of how the rubber has been constructed will have an impact on how long the rubber will last before cracking also, nothing lasts for ever, but it shouldn't crack in the first few months of owning a fairly new tyre either, with in reason. I've seen the exact same thing happen on some Mitus tyres, then I've got a schwalbe magic mary that's been on a bike, then removed and placed on a rack for about 6 years with not one crack in it, and it's been exposed to sunlight and air.First up - I have no knowledge of rubber or Michelin tyres.
Is the life of the tyre before perishing related to the compound or durometer?

Give it a rest. Your insults aren’t getting any traction.No need to be a knob about it, you'll only compound the issue.

Cracking under pressure…like a Michelin.Now I feel let down and deflated.
Seems that the tyres in question are nearly two years old. Maybe they were old stock in the factory, maybe they didn’t move quick from the local distributor, maybe the shop had them too long.Excess UV rays, oxygen and heat prematurely deteriorates rubber, but the quality of how the rubber has been constructed will have an impact on how long the rubber will last before cracking also, nothing lasts for ever, but it shouldn't crack in the first few months of owning a fairly new tyre either, with in reason.
