    I have some small splits in the tire in the treaded part that would
    be against the ground in a hard turn. They're short (longest is 1/4"😉
    and parallel with the bead. It's just one little group, not distributed
    around the tire.
    Is this cosmetic, or something that will try to kill me at the worst
    possible time?

    It's cosmetic, and probably a symptom of an older tire. It's the
    casing fabric of the tire that holds it together, not the rubber.
