Small surface cracks (if they don't extend past the rubber's outer surface) may well be nothing more than cosmetic in nature, but if they reach deep into the rubber, it can definitely be a reason for replacment for safety reasons.
All tires will eventually exhibit some type of cracking condition, usually late in their life. However, this cracking can be accelerated by too much exposure to heat, vehicle exhaust, ozone and sunlight.
The anti-aging chemicals used in the rubber compounds are more effective when the tire is "exercised" on a frequent basis. The repeated stretching of the rubber compound actually helps resist cracks forming. The tires used on vehicles that are driven infrequently, or accumulate low annual mileage are more likely to experience cracking because long periods of parking or storage interrupt "working" the rubber. In addition to being an annoyance to show car owners, this condition often frustrates motor home and recreational vehicle owners who only take occasional trips and cannot even park their vehicle in a garage or shaded area. Using tire covers at least minimizes direct exposure to sunlight.
Tire manufacturers' warranties typically cover cracking for a period of 4 years from the date the tire was purchased (receipt for the new tires or in-service date of the vehicle required) or four years from the date the tire was manufactured.

not really. almost all tires will get those after awhile. especially if you live in a very hot dry environment. if they are just surface cracks than there's no need to worry. but you do want to keep an eye out for deeper cracks on the tread itself. keep your tires properly inflated and check for tread wear.
i've had those cracks on my tires for 2 years and haven't had a single problem.

Unless the crack is deep then you should take the vehicle and reciept to where the tires were phurchased to have the tires replaced under "road hazard warranty".

bike tires are tremendously lots valueless after 4 years, so if the tires are unique to the bike then you particularly would be doing your self a decide to replace them. The cracks are from dry-rot, and that they seem to be a demonstration that the tires are outdated. From a protection point of view, changing the tires could be a reliable thought. Tread intensity is in simple terms an indicating ingredient for tire placed on/lifestyles once you holiday adequate to placed on them out. As for replacements, you have 2 suggestions. purchase from a broking and pay their value yet get their mounting and balancing, or order on line and mount/stability them your self. sellers frequently won't mount and stability mail-order tires (or, in the event that they'll, they value extra beneficial than what it could have value to basically purchase the tires by means of them). on the grounds that i bypass by means of various tires each 365 days, I do my own mount and stability. i will could endanger a wager that on the grounds which you're asking, your suitable path could be to pay a broking. sounds like OEM tires are IRC. i'm no longer keen on IRC tires, yet they're reliable adequate. in case you do no longer holiday lots (below 5,000 miles a 365 days), then choosing extra low-priced tires could be a reliable determination as you will likely be changing them before they're wiped out. Shinko is a reliable, low-priced, stable tire enterprise. a sequence of Shinko 712 tires lists for extra or less $a hundred on line, the IRC RS310 take place at approximately $2 hundred, Avon AM41/40 two's are approximately $250 (very intense end tires), comparable for Metzeler ME880. in case you drop off your bike, you are able to determine yet another $a hundred for having the tires put in, one million/2 that in case you eliminate the wheels from the bike and stroll them into the shop. you will be able to do extra constructive on value to locate a non-dealership (autonomous) shop, it is not substantial in the event that they paintings on Suzuki or no longer.
