Sidewall cracks? I can't remember the last set of tires I drove on that didn't have them. I ran a set on my Mustang when I took it to the track that worked great, but the sidewalls were ugly looking. Amazing what some black shoe polish can do, especially to not attract attention when going through the tech inspection ha ha. I've never had a blow out, and I always run my tires at at least the sideway max, usually more. But like Frank Lee said, make sure there is air in your spare and you have all the tools to swap on the spare, just in case.
