Default Do I need new tires?

After spending some time under my car flushing tranny/diff/and oil I checked out my tires and I could see some small cracks. The tred is fine but I am not sure if I should be worried about the small cracks in between the treds. Anyways if I need to uprade should I go with stock tires or something better I like yokohamas open to suggestions aprreciate all the help

They had to be replaced before you bought it htough, 46k on stock tires has to be impossible

I wouldn't worry about it. Spider cracks ain't that big of a deal if they're small.
