Default Is this a serious problem for my slicks?

Ive had these slicks for a while but they were stored in my garage deflated and in the back in a cool area. Took them out and ran them at the track and noticed these cracks. Something I should worry about and replace ASAP? What causes something like this? Thanks

M/T: 24.5x8x14

I think I have seen that before, but only on MT slicks? I could be wrong. But safty wise, I would change them.

Doesnt look like it, but under it looks flat, doesnt look like theres much compound. I thought I saw a thread about this before but had a hell of a time finding it so I made this one. I would like to replace them but then that means I wont have tires for IDRC this weekend.

If its the same thread I think your talking about, it was made by Tony1 ( Tony Palo ) , he was having abnormal wear on the inside of the slick I believe.

On my old M/T 22x8x15 slicks I had the same thing. I thought it was due to some rocks getting stuck in there while in the burnout box or something. I never thought much of it and kept on using them for a couple of events. It never grew worse.
