tires

Checking the ol moho over for a big spring trip and the tires just didn't look right. Made a trip down to my tire guy and he says these tires are 5 years old and they are real iffy for even a short trip. The tires are oem Michelins with 35k miles. They are cracked bad up next to the rim so I have 6 new ones on the way but not Michelins. Is this the norm for these tires? I have dealt with this father and son as my father for well over 50 years so don't go there. Just want to know is this what other people are experiencing.
