Like the other poast say there is no way to get rid of the cracks,about all you can hope for is to hide them if that's what your going for. I discovered years ago something that did a super job of softening up some OEM rubber parts on my 55 Chevy wagon that weren't available reproduction. That something was vasoline. I coated the 4 pieces in vasoline and kept them wet with it for several weeks and by the time I needed them they were as soft as the day they were made. After being out in the weather again for a while they did get hard but by that time they had conformed to the shape they needed to be and it wasn't a big deal since they were just filler pieces and not actually seals. I don't know how much vasoline it would take for a couple of tractor tires, but I'd almost be willing to bet it's work if you tried it.
