On dry pavement you'll be fine but seriously, get some new tires. Those are gonna **** on you in rain as you've found. 3-4 years is a long time for tires esp if you use it all year round. Those are just aging cracks from the tire being old, drying out and splitting, nothing damaging and should be fine until you get some new ones but you better get something in a few months for summer.

ryan: holy **** - you've been riding on the same tires since 07??

i consider it an accomplishment if a tire lasts more than 8 months for me. my kdw's look worse than that honestly but i'm waiting until i get my new wheels before swapping out tires. I figure there's no point in buying new rubber if i'm gonna get new wheels in a month or so

just no aggressive driving for me for a lil' while
