It's simple. Don't drive the car any faster then you plan to go for your next accident. And only drive your car in places where you'd like to have that accident. After all, it's only your safety that is at risk, here.
Is this too much dry rot?

Check the date code to know how old they actually are.
They're pretty cracked, but I've seen worse. However, you've already had one fail structurally. Why keep rolling the dice on the rest?
Those tiny tires are so cheap that this should be an easy decision. Replace them all.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I don't like what I'm seeing.

Thanks for all the replies. The DOT code says 1612. Very disappointing that these only lasted 3.5 years.
No unusual usage or abuse. I did notice they lost air pressure rather quickly, it must have been coming through the sidewalls. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and replace them all.
