cracked tires...

My off island vehicle sits for most of the time. I normally change the oil and service it once or twice a year but generally it sits in a parking lot. I probably put 3-4K per year on that vehicle for local trips around the cape but rarely drive very far in it. It is a older explorer, which i put new tires on it about 6 years ago, they have about 20K miles or less on them, with little sign of wear. EXCEPT the other day I check the air and noticed cracking all around the sidewalls (about an inch from the rim) on 3 out of the 4 tires, with fairly deep cracking on one of them.

What caused this? Lack of use? Bad tire? I will get them checked but I am sure the guy will say you will have to replace them.
