I bought some 13 year old mud tires with cracks in the sidewalls. Are they okay to drive on?
Find answers to your legal question.

The tread is great only 30,000 on the tires but there are some cracks in the sidewalls not too deep but deep enough. Should i not use them?

They are mounted on rims and are holding air are they still bad to drive on?

Acceptable life expectancy is 6 years. It's not worth taking a chance.

I would not dare get them on the street. they are weather check and dry rotting away.

I would only use them off road at slower speeds, if they are 13 years old they are probably Bias ply, and will probably puncture fairly easily.

Fordman

no. Sounds like they have dry rotted.

good luck

if you live in a state that has state inspections they will not pass one good pothole and they could blow out.

1. They are very unsafe.

2. They hold air but wont support the vehicle.

3. 6 to 7 year old tires are when they need to be discarded.
