How dangerous is this?
 
I just noticed this today as I left work. These tires are over 10 years old, so I know I need to replace them. Just wanted to know if I could drive on them for a week or so till I can swing a new set of tires. Max speed to and from work is 45mph.

P.S. Sorry I dont post as much as I use to here. Been busy though. I will try to post some of my new works in OT.

The small cracking is not that bad, but the big separation has me worried. The max safe life of a tire is 6 years.

You are pressing your luck with those tires. They could last months or could blow out tomorrow.
Change them ASAP.

One bad bump could blow them. There is no telling how long they will last.

If you have to ask how dangerous it is, it's probably too dangerous. :P

Yeah.... I had one blow out and it was in better shape than that. Replace ASAP.
