Very early dry rot. No reason to not ride now in that condition though. Probably slightly less grippy than they used to be

there’s nothing wrong with those unless you’re a professional racer competing for seconds.

Carry on, just normal wear and tear – just sunlight causing the rubber to dry out over time.

How old are they?
On normal tires, this would last years and years of sun or aging.

Once it creeps to the sidewall is when I usually recommend people replace. That’ll happen to the tread, keep riding those

Is this normal for this brand of tires? I’m asking because I see them recommended all the time mine are showing this sort of wear but my £7 (and seemingly invincible) tires are showing no major wear but my gp5000s are showing signs of dry rot in less than a year
