Yes, the danger is real. People have gotten killed, although injured is much more common. Replacing the tire is by far the safest approach. If you use the tractor with any regularity, this is the only approch to take.
Take the following advise at your own risk. Many times people see cracks on tires and assume its dry-rot. If the tractor has always been stored inside and gets used periodically, the tires are probably not dry rotted. If they simply have cracks and are not dry rotted, I would look at checking the valve stem for leaks. If the valve stem is fine and the tire has an inner tube, your leak is coming from it and not the tire. A new inner tube will offer pretty good protection against a blowout, but its not perfect. It all comes down to the risk you are willing to take for yourself and anyone who may be around the tractor.
