Tire tread cracks?

How bad do these cracks look as far as safety goes?
The tires are Hankook Dynapro ATM with 63,000 miles on them.
Tread depth looks ok and I'd guess I could get about 10k more before I'm down to minimum depth. I'm more concerned about the cracks then tread.

Thanks for any help and info

 

Drive it

 

Tires are dry rotted and are unsafe !!!!

 

I would look into replacing them sooner rather than later. Keep your eyes out for any sales with the new year and tax season coming up.

 

Are they dry rotted or is that from running under inflated?

 

How old are they?

Yes low press increases tire temps which produce cracks !!! , also exposure to long periods of ultraviolet light creates dry rot

 

Most of the dry rot I've seen has been more in the sidewall, than near the tread. That is why I asked.

 

I would check the age of those tires...

Made in 2012
I typically run 32 psi in them.

 

I typically run 32 -34 psi

 

Tires are supposed to be replaced every 5 years from the date code stamped on EA tire

 

Tire mfgs and safety officials mandate replacing tires at that interval !!!!

 

Yeah, but I got some more tread left. Lol
I don't like buy shoes let alone tires.
But I guess I better start looking for a set soon.
Other wise buy a good set of shoes to walk with......

 

I’d be happy with 63,000 miles if I were you,time for some new meats!!

 

When tires start dry rotting the inner structure (cords) could be compromised!!!

 

Ya that's what I was thinking.... I'd be surprised if I get 40k out of mine. Time to put some new tires on with the new year

 

Tires are very important when it comes to not causing a wreck, especially in winter when old tires cant handle wet roads. I got a set of 5 General Grabber AT 2's for $800 installed. It's worth the money now to avoid paying a large bill from a collision.

 

I'd say talk to your local tire shop and have them prorate a new set for you if possible. You're past the manufacturer mileage warranty on a Hankook ATM for sure, but sometimes shops can give you something back for it. Either way I'd be pretty content with 63k miles. It's hard to tell from the pic how deep the cracks are. If you can grab em with your fingernail or a flat head, I'd get new ones. It's worth the extra safety to yourself and others

 

No, that's not how it works, there is no automatic consensus disposal date. NHTSA doesn't even publish a guideline date. Some venicle manufacturers specify replacement after six years. Not five. Some tire manufacturers (who would obviously benefit from short expiration dates) say up to ten years with an inspection. Six years seems to be the general consensus but YMMV depending on exposure to UV, use, temperature, etc.
