I have got a question, my tires are 5 years old and it has cracks on the wall of the tire, Is it ok to drive like this? Or I gotta replace it. The threats are still a 100% fine.

And even if it doesn’t blow out, if the rubber is brittle enough to crack, it won’t have any grip, especially in the wet.  New tires are expensive, but not as expensive as an accident.

Well, it shouldn't have any cracks at all. If they do, they're somewhat dangerous. You never know when they're going to start leaking or blowing out. Let's just say they don't make tires like they used to. I see many of them wear out when they're less than 5 years old these days. Expect you to drive a lot of mods. So if you drove in 5 years, say 60 to 80,000 mi they'd be worn out anyway
