Unfortunately after many years in the motor trade I find that when you tell somebody something, they dont listen.
When I bought my caravan last year they were supposed to service it. ( should have checked what their verision of "service" meant,
Anyway took the caravan to storage and on looking at the tyres thought that they bulged a bit, but when I tried to get the valve caps of they were stuck on (used a pair of grips and a 8mm socket) Which also meant that as part of the service they could not have checked the tyre pressures.
So I took the wheels off and took them to a tyre depot and had new valves fitted and asked if the tyre pressures could be 65 as recommended, After I fitted them I checked the tyre pressures myself and found that they had done them to 55,
When I had a caravan service 9 months later the engineer said that both of the tyres needed replacing due to cracks, after I fitted the wheels on the caravan I again thought that the tyres looked under inflated and they were both at 53 despite me saying 65.
The tyres which had been replaced were new in 2019 so could the cracking in the tread be due to under inflation over 4 years ?
So basically everybody should check your tyre pressures.
