And although my mechanic can knock em on and off in no time he charges a an arm and a leg to do so, just what I need at christmas.....images are when from when the car is on a jack during front tire changes.....but perished they are.....any recommendations on better quality type? or patching up current ones to last a little until i get to mechanic?

Looks more like dried on mud that cracked, and not the rubber itself that is cracking.
