Damn, I really like the Dunlop 607 on my KLR. Its about 2 years old
with plenty of tire left and I'm seeing cracks around the bead. I like
to call them "cosmetic cracks" but I really don't think so. I never ran
underinflated, so it is just aging, and so far no cracks in the tread
area. If I remember properly, its not a problem unless you can stick a
penny in it and still see Lincoln's head. No, thats not right. What is
the read on this? Is it new tire time, or do I have some time yet?

tire cracking
The penny thing is about depth of tread. However, I changed my front
Dunlop because of cracking. At the motorcycle tire place, the guy
showed me that I didn't have to worry because there were plenty of
cords/belts that were unaffected by the cracks.
But, that doesn't mean you should go over 80 on the fwy or hiway for
long periods of time.
