Tread wear is only 1 indication that a tire needs replacement. Blisters, uneven wear, bubbles, slashes, cracks are a few others. You should have your tires checked by a competent garage and rotated every 4 months. Tires that are 5 years old are generally due for replacement regardless of tread wear or appearance. Your life depends on it.

Yes absolutely. This means they are dry rotted. Chunks can fly off at speed and will disintegrate. You could be cruising down the street only to find your tire falling apart and you flying of the road.
Go get them changed before you kill yourself and take others out with you!

When the rubber gets old, it get hard, then cracks.
When you see cracks in the rubber in the sidewall, you should replace your tires.

Yes, they are "dry rotting", means they are probably old.
