Don’t drive it. it could end painfully.
This is what tires look like when you drive with too low pressure.

Mine was like that for years. Old and dead. Replace or stick to short slow trips.

I had tires like this before without realizing. And I only realized because I was getting punctures daily. I agree with previous commenters, change them asap

Despite inflation and tariffs, new tires are cheaper than dental work still.

It’s probably just aging rubber and the casing is intact. Still since rubber is cheap compared to medical care why not replace.

That’s called a Maypop tire-because it ‘may pop’ at any time!😆- Rubber has a limited lifespan, and eventually does dry out…it’s time for a new tire my friend

Not the greatest.
That being said. Mine look similar after taking the bike out of storage and ive already put 800 miles on them, so there’s that

Replace those asap
Bad. Time for new tyres.
What’s the casing under it look like? Rubber isn’t the structure you care about on the sidewall.
All good, been riding mine for years:
