How Bad Is This?

Check it out, I noticed a crack in my tire several days ago... the tire is not loosing any air, but it seems somewhat dangerous no? I'm scared the tire is gonna just burst under higher then normal pressure (hitting a bump, high speed...)

new tires asap

looks like the thread is breaking away and you should be up for some new free tires depending how long you had these

The wheels were Kevin's, don't know how long he had them, also I'm sure I would need a proof of purchase.

LOL, I have no clue what car he had them on before the wagon. They are the old tires though, he had given me 2 new, 2 old and the olds don't have much thread on them anyway... so new tires time :P

Looks like a retread.Seriously....that's what my buddy's Peterbilt tires look like when they start to go south.Never actually saw it on a passenger car tire.

FYI.....All tires made today have a "born on " date.....like Budweiser.It's usually located down by the bead in a little oval shaped marking.It will read something like 4205,which means the tire was manufactured in the 42nd week of 2005.The DOT recommends that no tire over 5 years old is used and should be replaced regardless of tread depth.

And obviously replace those tires immediately.
