Why Tires FailTIRE FAILURES CAUSED BY OLD TIRES
Tires do not last forever, even if the tread shows little visible wear. As rubber ages, it loses elasticity, hardens and can become brittle. The reinforcing cords inside a tire can also deteriorate and lose strength. This increases the risk of a sudden tire failure the older a tire gets. After six years, the risk of failure goes up sharply. Because of this, many safety experts say tires that are more than six years old have expired and should be replaced regardless of how much tread is left on the tires.
All tires have a date code stamped on the sidewall. You will find it in a little recessed rectangle on the side of the tire. The date code reveals the week the tire was manufactured, and the year.
Before 2000, the date code had three digits. Since 2000, it has had four. The first two digits are the week of the year (01 = the first week of January). The third digit (for tires made before 2000) is the year (1 = 1991). For most tires made after 2000, the third and fourth digits are the year (04 = 2004). In the photo below, the date code is 0806. That means this tire was manufactured during the eighth week of 2006.
Check the date code on your tires, and if they are more than six years old you should probably replace them, especially if you do any high speed driving during hot weather or heavily load your vehicle. If your tires are more than 10 years old, they are a blowout waiting to happen. Don't take unnecessary chances. Replace them now!
======================
Which reminds me that I need to have my tires replaced soon. The vehicle turned seven just today.
OT:
also remember to have your spare tyre secured and lock properly baka hindi pa umabot ng 6 years eh wala na spare tyre mo.
sir i bought my brand new tyres nitong march lang, sa kasamaang palad, napasabak ako sa lubak at nung nag carwash/wax ako at tire black, napanasin ko na nagka biyak yung front tire ko, mga half inch siya, pinacheck ko sa tire shop, sabi ok lang daw yun, para daw daw sa peace of mind ko, susunigan daw nila para matapalan, okay ba yun? di pa papangit gulong ko? may lakad kasi ako sa sat eh, medyo malayo ang byahe di kaya biglang sumabog gulong ko nun? btw nankang 195/50/15 yung tyres ko.
To thread starter / Manilablock
Replace all 4.
The tires are the only things connecting your car to the road.
Worn/old tires will increase the likelihood of accidents on the road, whether it be due to exploding tires or poor braking performance.
Hindi worth it yung pagsave ng konting pera kung malaking aksidente yung possibleng maabutan.
Get new, decent quality tires while you're at it.
Adding to what sir number001 said, since 2 of the 2010 tires are worn, use the 3rd 2010 tire as the spare and dispose of the rest.

In my opinion, that's the problem with the cheaper chinamade tires.
After all the abuse we've put our cars through, none of our Yokohamas/Bridgestones (Yoko A.Drive/A300 / Bridgestone Turanzas) have had major cracks/bumps.
It's always your call kung itutuloy mo yung lakad. But better safe than sorry. I'd replace the tire na.
Edit: Can't see the picture
^ Depends how deep the cut is into the sidewall. Will a thin ruler fit through the crack so you can check? (Not sure if there are other alternatives on how to check how deep the cut really is)
Based on readings from the internet, <basta> hindi pa umabot/nagexpose ng cord, parang okay pa naman. Just be a little more careful/don't push the tire so hard I guess?
