The back tire seems to have no thread left where it touches the road. I would recommend replacing the back one.

Replace the tires

As ever, the answer is “just the one more ride…”

Change rear, front is good

Just the lack of thread on the rear doesn’t mean the tire needs replacing. Even official schwalbe website is saying so. As long as there’s rubber and no casing visible it’s ok to ride. Of course less thread less traction on dirt.
On both of your tires the rubber looks a little worn (probably by the age of the tires). I would be looking for deals on a new set of tires while still riding the ones you have

Unless theyre leaking air you can still.ride them. just dont do sharp turns in the wet.

How are they already so cracked? How old are they?

I‘d change the rear as soon as it gives you flats frequently – or before a long ride or race where you can’t/don‘t want to afford a flat.
Front will probably last the life of another rear.

Back tire is looking kinda sketchy. Probably time to get a new one. Front looks fine.
