Default another tire question

i put some rims on my car from an old del sol. Well i go to the shop to have them balanced and they are really dry rotted. The guys said i shouldnt drive on them because they are pretty close to blowing out. i have been driving back and forth to work and they seem fine. my question is are they close to blowing out?

yes they won't blow out.....but on a serious note, how are we suppose to determine that? hahaha......if the guy that was about to balance your tires said they are pretty close to blowing out, then they are pretty close to blowing out...any reason why you don't trust him? you even said that they are really dry rotted...."cuckoo cuckoo"

Get new tires. I had a friend that while I was driving next to his car I was literally getting hit with chunks from his tires. They were like 10 years old or something.
