Tire cracking - How much is too much?

I've been told a wide that some tire cracking is normal and not a concern. How much is too much? I know cracking on the sidewall is a problem regardless.
This is what I'm working with...

 

I would replace them if it's a daily driver.

 

They done for. Time to replace

 

What's the date code on them

 

I think the tire code is "1010", am I reading this right?
From Googling it looks like the that means the 10th week of 2010?!

 

I would say that is to much. LOL. Yeah, time to replace.

 

14 years old, well beyond the safe life for a radial tire.

I had one about that same age on my 84 Ford that I rarely drive blow out sitting under the shed parked, even though they still may look decent radial tires that are more than 10 years old are ticking bombs.

 

14 years, they had a good run. Time to re-tire them.

 

At least use some flex seal on the cracks. That is a joke, do not do that!

 

FYI, 6-7 years is considered about as long as tires should be used. It is sunlight and heat that break down the rubber. In hot sunny places like Arizona or Florida 6-7 years is as long as I'd recommend. In other areas, especially if the vehicle is stored in a garage and out of sunlight you would be OK to go a little longer but 10 years is a hard line that should not be crossed.

 

Thanks for the info! New to this site but have used it a lot already. Need to have my head examined for not checking the tire age after I bought the truck 2 years ago.
I have an appointment to have the tires all replaced tomorrow.

Anyone had any experience with Cosmo brand tires?
The tire shop a friend recommended said they the best "cheap but good" brand, but I hadn't heard of them. Was going to get their all terrain. I'm in Oregon, so lots of rain and maybe we'll get a week or two of snow.

 

What's your intended use of the truck? Just street or off road as well?

 

They look like may pops to me. Replace them.

 

If you drive under 30 miles an hour around town and putter around off-road, those tires are perfectly fine.

If you’re on the highway you should change them immediately.

If you’re in California those tires are probably OK for driving 120 miles an hour.

 

I wouldn’t drive around the block on those tires. They are cracked and rotten. It’s 14 years of UV rays and chemical pollution that make the rubber turn to shit. They are dangerous, get some new tires.

 

Like everybody said, replace them. 10 years is the hard limit if kept indoors in mild climates. Way less when outdoors or in adverse/hot climates like the south.

 

95% of the time on the street. Once in a while in the woods and theres a few unfinished roads around the neighborhoods.
But its the Pacific Northwest, so it pretty much rains constantly from November-May. I thought they might help traction for that.

The existing tires on it are AT's and have been ok. I was wondering if regular all seasons would be better for street rain? Some places say cold weather effects AT's effectiveness? lol...my head hurts.

 

Yikes

 

You don’t need AT’s. Assuming you seldom if ever deal with snow get a set of either all season or all weather tires.

 

I had an army surplus plow truck that had road tires and I drove it off-road and plowed with it on gravel roads with zero problems.
