I just bought some used tires that have A Lot of tread left! 2 of the tires have some dry rot cracks between the tread.. But the insides still look great! I don't drive the car much at all.. Y'all think it would still be alright to use them?

Yeah all the tires are 275/40/17's I was planning on put those on the rear.. The insides of the tires look great! I only drive the car like 20 miles a week anyway. It's only on two of the tires so I'll put those on the back. They have like 60% tread left too.

You should determine the age of the tire. I bet they have an older build date. Driving on tires that are weather cracked on a performance car is not a great Idea. Could you get away with it? Maybe but also Maybe not. Older tires can come apart with no other warning signs.
