The wear indicators are still visible but when inflated to ~8 bars these surface cracks show. Bikes always outside but has not seen that high mileage

That’s some dry rot.
That’s dry rot, I’d replace it ASAP
Replace, that tire is not safe to ride
Respect that you dated to inflate that to 8 bar. That tire looks like it’s gonna blow up after 2 bar.
But fr you need new tires
How far from home/car are you riding?
It probably won’t blow that is the thickest part of the tire but it’s done. I would not trust it at high speeds or farther than you are willing to call someone to come get you.
Bro how old is that tire
Done. Toast. NOT safe.
That’s cooked. Replace immediately.
Pootling around? Ok. Fast and far (group) rides? Not ok
I apply 303 Protectant to the inside and outside of tires before installing to help protect them from UV which causes dry rot.
Yeet to the garbage bin
