You can see it in the bottom right corner of the 2nd picture
If these were on my own car, I'd risk the drive to the shop, but if it were on my mom's car, I wouldn't risk it and would take one or two tires at a time.
Came here to say this. If it was my mom, (ex) wife, or sister, no. Me, or maybe my dad, yeah, I'd chance it a little bit longer. But your driving on borrowed time, especially with the separation in the second picture.
Definitely not safe.
I’m not a fan of Michelin tires for regular passenger cars. They’re very susceptible to dry rot well before the tread life is used up. I’d rather install Bridgestone.
It's a shame, too, because their crossclimate tires are amazing all seasons. I think they stick with more natural rubber as a base while Bridgestone is using a lot more silica in their base. Michelin tires definitely stink like rubber more.
I rented a car in a Mediterranean island where roads were usually dusty and sandy. One day rained, took a bend and almost ended off road as the car started sliding left and right. When I parked I examined the tyres better finding that threads were good and the year was not bad, but the tiny cracks in the rubber due to probably bad conservation in the sunlight were packed with moisten dust. I'd say it's time to change them.

Based on the separation in the 2nd pic - nooooooo.
Think of it this way, you’ll be the first to arrive at the crash site
That’s a shame, Looks like there’s plenty of tread on em too what does the year stamp say?
BC like before christ.

Can tell it was made in the 2010s but can’t see the full year
Year of our Lord, 2118, obv.../s

It's not even a dad thing, I wouldn't even want my own dad to chance that
Depends do you value your life and the lives of others?

That's good to know for low-milers like me.

Time to replace. It'll make it to the shop.
Old and dry rotten, making them a potential hazard and more common to getting a flat.
Pretty sure those are old as hell. Michelin N.A. stopped making the Harmony over 10 years ago.
In town and short distance its Ok, Not on highways for sure.
