Yes, that's a great point Chance. That slide likely does create an imbalance. Grey tank is right behind the tires on that side too.
mcr1010, no I have not been routinely using anything. Also did not cover them. I considered doing this back in the day but when I read the differing opinions on that topic back then I opted against covers. I'm also reluctant to routinely put "products" on my tires. In the back of my mind I remember years ago reading a theory about armor all that said it would actually condition the tires to need it, then if you don't keep it up they might actually dry out faster. I don't know about all that, but i do think it plausible that solvents in some products leaching out compounds or otherwise chemically changing the tires in some way or another.... so I haven't been a fan since I know sooner or later I'll let it lapse for a while. It's not like I'm able to keep after something like that on a really regular schedule.
WarEagleDan, thanks.... I actually looked into that a year or so ago when i started becoming concerned about the premature cracking. It didn't apply in my case. I believe the recall issue was a bit earlier
