I did the same to my earlier set of Dunlops and they cracked, too. Unfortunately most of the paint pens that you buy from crafts houses don't have the same flex agents and rubberized base that the Ranger stuff has.

Sorry to hear about the misplaced "stamp" on your first set. But we all have to realize that these are foremost racing tires and I don't believe Goodyear is investing a whole lot of effort in making them purty. What still confuses me is how their yellow lettered tires all look so much cleaner but these always look like crap. Must be using older molds and machinery...either that or they just don't give s#!t.
