Not saying that you do not have an issue and on should always side on the side of safety. Cracks will always appear where the compound rubber transisions to the sidewall rubber. Age and Runs also affects this, If the tires are 2-3 years old, then consider stepping up to NEW, used slicks are no better than what you have unless you know the history on them. All the years I have run and running different compounds, never saw any difference between them and unless one has the ability to test back to back runs between them on the same track surface, I dont know how anybody could either.
