Should I change my tyre if it is this condition?

the cracks look like they're only on the tread, and not the body of the tire. Getting pretty close to the wear bars though. I'd say you have 6mo to a year left on those depending on your driving.

i have gambled on worse, but would change it sooner than later

Absolutely! This is a picture of an old, cracked up, dried out tire. If you look at the sidewall, there is a manufacturing date, … Year/Week code stamped on it.

Most carmakers recommend replacement of tires at six years from the date of manufacture, … regardless of thread depth!

F.S.

I remember when I bought my first car, it had Michelin tyres on it. They were cracked too. When looking on manufacturing date I thought they were 5 years old but a vulcaniser told me they were more likely 10 years older. Back then there was only 1 digit that revealed year of production. Michelin tyres can hold but time kills them.
