Just thinking out loud here - - -

Since radials have taken over the market I don't know of anybody that recaps tires anymore.

The most sever cracking I see on radials is in the thread area both between the threads and at the end of the thread area to the sidewall.

The steel cords heat up and retain heat at a much different rate than the rubber can handle and alot different than the nylon cords that were used.

Maybe it's that the tire engineers don't know or have not found the magical additive/chemical/procedure to work??

A question for the big rig truckers/ mechanics - -

Can the large radial truck tires be re-grooved and/or recapped?

Thanks
