Does this tire look like it's cracked?

I'm in Ontario Canada. Were in the middle of winter. I had my car 2019 ZL1 delivered to me last week. I'm worried that the tire is cracked. Please have a look at the picture and let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Those look like tire mold partition lines, considering how evenly spaced and straight they are.

Did you try checking in between the treads .Looks cracked to me,how deep are they?

Very hard to tell from the one picture. Looks like it's possible it's in the early stages of cracking. Was it driven in weather below 40-45 degrees?

No the car has not been driven. I'm in Ontario Canada and we're in the middle of winter. I bought the car from a Dealer about a 3 hour drive from me. The car was shipped to me in an enclosed trailer. The car was backed out of the trailer and into my unheated garage. It looks to me like the tire might be cracking at the tire mold partition lines.

You're right it is at the tire mold partition lines but I'm worried that it's cracking at that line.

I don't see anything at the treads. Not deep one is maybe the thickness of a finger nail.

I looks like there could possibly be cracking at the mold lines.

Check if you can pull the crack open with your fingers or two flat-heads by putting slight opposing pressure away from the crack on each side.

My son came over and looked at the tires. He’s a mechanic and doesn’t think the tires are cracked. He thinks it’s the tire partition lines.

Nah. Looks like mold lines. From what I've seen, when these tires crack, it's not in a straight line.

Thank you. I was worried. When you shell out this kind of money for a car you don't want to have spend more to replace tires. I'm looking into cheap rims and tires to put on it for the winter.
