Anyway, safety first.

I wouldn't have thought 5 years of life was too bad for a tyre. If you do the average 10k a year they should have done around 50k which would be very good going for a soft compound grippy tyre. If you've still got virtually all the tread on them then they have probably cracked due to lack of use. Same with suspension rubbers and components, if they aren't used they dry up and then crack when flexed.
