look on the side wall for what is called the DOT the last 4 digits of the i believe 8 digit code are the date they were producted. the first 2 are the week(out of 52) and the last 2 are the year for example 2104= 21st week of 2004 Some cracking is normal, b/c the tire is slowly drying out over time. But cracking is a sign of dry rotting like said before. Doesnt look Dangerous yet.

Wow, so yeah.. they are over 8 years old. I think it may be the age especially if they were left out in the sun and weather most of that time.

dont use fix A flat!....all it does it corrode your aluminum rims or eat away at the paint coating on your steel rims. If you were in a bind and needed something for a weekend to get home its your choice. But personally I wouldnt touch that stuff ever. It does more harm than good in the long run.

Ok well ignore what I said lol
I have never used that stuff in anything other then wheels on utility vehicles and stuff like that.
I dont remember you saying someone let the air out so I was thinking it was the cracks caused a slow leak. I hate when people do stuff like that. Someone did that to a friend at school, they let the air out of 2 of the tires.
