Are they cracking from age? Are they quite a few years old? I would contact Interco about the cracking. I am kind of partial to BFGoodrich tires (although I do have one set of super swamper SX). I am considering the new 42" BFGoodrich mud terrain km2. I believe they are still only available for 20" dia. wheels. Those tires a tested on the latest UA truck on this site.

Wow, they are weather cracking early. Even with only 5000 miles a year the tires should not be weather cracked in 5 years. Sitting constantly in the sun really accelerates weather checking. The tires have a chemical in them that helps prolong the tires from weather checking, but the tires need to be driven for the chemical to work through the tire.
The 40" BFG has a 17" wheel size. I was checking prices and the 40" BFG's would set you back about the same as 49" IROK's; and the 42" BFG's would cost about the same or slightly more than 54" Boggers. BFG's are not cheap, but they do make a great tire. I really like the all terrain BFG's that I have.
Call Interco and see what they say about your Irok radials.
