Should I be worried about cracks in tyres?

[LambethBoy]

I know I still have some tread on these, but I’ve been told that I need to replace them?
They haven’t been on the van for awhile and have been sat outside.
That’s two different tyres in the photos.
Not sure myself

Edit. Just noticed the DOT. is 3519
So maybe.

I wouldn't drive on 'em in a 2 tonne van.

Why risk it?

Defo scrap imo. The integrity of the tyres is compromised.

6 years in use, 10 if they spent time stored off a vehicle away from sunlight is the common yardstick. Id be inclined to retire them.

Yeah, I’m agreeing with everyone in here, time for them to go.

I wonder if that condom I’ve had in my wallet since my pre-SWMBO days is still good to go?!! Opening my wallet is a disruptive ecological event in itself…!

The one that she knows is there, serial number logged and if it ever disappears there will be hell to pay.

As a mate of mine explained once: divorce costs about £100k per inch!
