Tire Saftey

I'm running on these Nokian Entyre tires for 2 years now. They have 30k on them and still have a lot of tread. My concern are the cracks shown in the pic. Side walls have no cracks and the tire shop says its normal, but, I not convinced. I appreciate any advice.

Check the date codes on the tires.
Replace them

Nokian is a Norwegian tire company. Not sure where they actually manufacture them, but doubt its mexico or china.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokian_Tyres

Tires should have come with a warranty of some sort. Review it, and if there's still coverage, make a claim.

Edit: I take that back.. the wiki does indicate China being one of the locations. Inspect the tire(s), were yours made in china?
