well the more performance designed the tire is - the less silica and anti hardening compounds will be in the rubber compound inc the sidewalls which flex more in a performance design - so the rubber is going to get harder and possibly brittle in colder temps, and if the air pressure happens to be down some I could see it could cracking - tires are so specialized these days and goodyear is of course doing a cya.
1st job out of college - working on rubber compounds for tires.
