The nitrogen section from Michelin said:
The predominant concern for proper tire inflation is moisture in the compressed air system. Moisture, when present in the tire, greatly accelerates the oxidation effects to the tire and the wheel. Using well maintained inflation equipment (compressor, inflation lines, and in-line air dryer) will minimize the moisture content of the compressed air in the tire.
Mr Leary the XZA3's and up seem to show no sidewall cracking.
Michelin says to run full sidewall pressure, non wet air, covers and park on something. Do you have any other info as to the details or just the picture?
Most here may have never thought about water in the tire until it was brought up here.
Lithium mounting lubes deterioration generates water vapor in the tire btw.
Not a problem for truckers running 20k a month or more.
For us? Yes
