Next problem is Dry-Rotting, My tires passes the tire test but with 10 years on the car they started cracking and losing air....Dangerous!

You say if the front has more wear then the back or vice versa? What if its front wheel drive shouldn't it have a lot more wear anyway in the front? My fronts are pretty worn down, the center treds on some spots are almost flat, my backs are like flawless though. Cant I just rotate the tires, that should work for awhile right?
