Trash them unless you have a death wish.

wow really, they are cracked so much where they are deep and has a huge crevace, but they have an abundance of cracks all the way around the sidewall of the tire. i put them on in late 2006, but were made and stored for two years. this is what has led to the dry rotting. i just noticed this in the last couple months and didnt think it was a big deal, but after doing my hw i see it can be....toyo mt or bfg mt???

The BFG KM2's are really sweet tires. I hear you can get 70k out of them with proper rotations.
