Cracking around the flanges is common on older Tuffs. Shouldn't hurt to cruise. Don't get crazy with tire psi. 45 is about it. If you just have to save the OG Tuffs, PlanetBMX.com has new Tuffs in lavender made from the same molds used in the 80's. New Tuffs also have sealed bearings.

Maybe you could pack the cracks with an epoxy just to be safe?
I had a Scrambler with Tuff II's that had some minor cracking and I rode it all the time just cruising the neighborhood with no problems at all, also they didn't appear to get any worse during the 6 months or so I rode it a lot.
