Sorry if you know this already, but if you look at the sidewall of the tyre you should find a four digit number stamped on it's own and this will tell when the tyre was made. For example 1016 would mean it was made in the tenth week of 2016, 4312 = 43rd week of 2012, etc.

Cracking is only one problem with old tyres, the other is that they harden, thus less grip especial in the damp or wet or cold roads I would change them 5 years and over.Check the date stamp as already mentioned
Change them at five years??? mine don't last more than 18 months
