Its a Tyre thats been in the shed a while and was thinking about selling it, but after cleaning it i noticed a few areas like the between the tread in places ?, is it safe ?, the cracking seems to be only on the very surface of the rubber ?, i was going to sell it but dont want to if its not safe, its a shame if i cant as its a nearly new 18" continental 225-40-18 !!

I'd say it was fine and I'd happily use it!
