Tread isn't bad but their dry rotted so no life really. Did you happen to check the date code on them.

Not worth the risk. I know their not cheap but better than replacing more than just tires if it blows out. Also wont handle fast turns too well. You can see the dry rot cracks in between the treads. Keep an eye out in the classifieds and you may find some. That's where I got my set.
Cheers
