Assuming you are talking about the sidewalls. What are you putting on them to make them shine or cleaning them with?

i think its eagle one "wet look".i know its an eagle one product.clean once in a while with mean green.

Is it parked in a garage with alot of running electrical motors, or pool filters/supplies. High ozone levels will cause tires to get hard and crack early.

What size tires? Maybe the mean green isn't good for them.

generally speaking, I wouldn't use anything with the word "mean" in them on tires. I would also use the tire shine stuff very sparingly. It's like hair color. Yes, it makes it look pretty, but it kills your tires very quickly; the ingredients in tire wet (the category of products, not the brand) dry out sidewalls quite effectively.
