I was rotating my tires today and noticed that on the passenger rear there was a crack in the tread. The tires have between 2-3000 miles on them, so not too much. How bad do you think this is? I have the old wheels and tires on there now, I would just hate to have a blow out or something. None of the other tires seemed to have any cracks. Thanks.

I don't know how I spotted it, just sort of caught my eye when I was taking it off. The tires are the Yokohama AVS-I's that were on closeout through tirerack so they are probably non-refundable. Oh well, they were cheap so I can't complain too much, lol. Thanks.
