This tyre is ok, not worn. However the outside has a lot of cracks.

 

Yes, I would not drive those on a long expressway trip. I'd bet if you find the date code - they are pretty old.


Anyhow - I've been chewed out by customers - after I did a "trip check" and did not notify them they had cracks - a tire failed on their trip, and they were not happy.

 

Tyre is from week 8/2018.

 

6-year-old tires, that is probably dry rot. I wouldn't drive on them if it were my car. Tires don't just wear from road use, the environment also breaks them down. I've never kept tires on a vehicle longer than 5 years, even if they have usable tread.

 

Speaking from experience, that is a blowout waiting to happen. It happened to me in my old motorhome on a hot day in the middle of nowhere. Here is the hard fact, suck it up and replace them.
