Legal tyre?
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
The tread depth may be ok, but if you have got splits in the side walls with the cords showing then dump them, as they won't be legal on the road, and at three points and £60 a tyre, let alone the safety aspect it isn't worth it.
If they are just going to be used purely off road on private land then its your risk.
L90OOK:
If your not using them on the public highway does matter if they are legal or not??
I have just bought 5x Colway AT Remoulds for £220 & must say I am very pleased with them. They have the same tread pattern as BFG AT & behave brilliant on & off road.
BrumLee:
They would be an advise on mot as long as the cracks aren't down to the cords or 25 mm or 10% of section width, whichever is greater. Personally I'd change them as they would be at risk of the tread lifting and peeling.
Highlander1:
Never assume that because yer car passes it's Mot that it's legal.
Many things which will pass MOT will still get you done under construction and use regs!
Motorbikes for example didn't need a numberplate. Just the number painted somewhere on the bike for the MOT!
perished rubbers will get you nicked or get her pregnant.

Ooo, Avon Rangemasters. Excellent tarmac tarmac tyre - abysmal in the mud!
Personally, even with the legal amount of tread that's on the one pictured, I would say those tyres are beyond their working life and there is a definate risk of the tread chunking off.
Shame, because as pointed out above, tyres ain't cheap. :(
Mine did the same thing after about three years.
Cheers
