Hoosier front runners...
 
Any "history" of them splitting/cracking all the way around the sidewall? (Mine have one season on them and are 28.0/4.5-15 I run 40 psi in them)

I have the same tire. Run 40 psi also on 4400 lb car. No problems in 3 seasons.

Same tire, 35 psi, no issues after several years of use.

I've used that same tire for close to 10 years, never had a problem. Hopefully, it was just a defective tire.

I have also used that tire without any problems ... Were they new &
did they sit outside ???

Keep them away from ozone sources such as electric motors.

It depends also upon how to store them for the winter. I was told by Hoosier, both front and rear tires should be removed from the car, deflated, and stored in a cool dry place out of the path of any sunlight.

Mine are stored on the car, full of air, off the ground, in a un-heated, attached garage.... very little, indirect sun light... Yes they were purchased new....

Where did you buy them from?

I read, iirc on Hooiser's website, that tires should be stored with 5 psi and not allowed to freeze. While I don't reduce air pressure, I keep the garage temperature above freezing.
