I stand corrected.
I was looking at the middle wears bars and didn't notice the outside edges were heavily worn. That suggests that these tires were commonly run under-inflated. That causes them to run hot, which results in rapid aging of the rubber compound.
The heating probably hasn't weakened the belts, but the combination of wear down the wear bars and cracking means they are ready for replacement.
