It should be noted for those who don't know the English from across the pond cracking in this case is a good thing meaning excellent. Not cracking as in the rubber is drying out.

I have been running the Cinturato Gravel Hs for a while on an electric bike and I got a screw that went through the tire and no flat the tread got pushed in but the tire still worked fine but I wanted to go tubeless on that bike so I swapped to brand new tires and have the old ones for back up (I repaired the old tire with a little shoe goo just for fun) I find they are comfortable, do the job well and look nice. I wanted a good gravel tire that was mostly going to be on road at that moment and they delivered. Plus I think they look quite fetching. Riding up and down the bike lane which is frequently covered in stuff I didn't get very many punctures just two that killed the tube and one at the front that held that screw and with the screw removed would have kept going (and did for a few rides before I said tubeless time) Plus mine has the "classic" sidewall which is a tan wall which is my favorite flavor or tires on bikes
