Looks to me like they cracked because of too much water or fluctuation in temperature. Take a look at the following link:

It's not a disease, it's just what is known as radial cracking. as VC Scott says above. they are fine to use but eat them up soon or sauce them as cracked tomatoes don't keep very long and can rot quickly. Some varieties are more prone to cracking than others and as mentioned above, it is also generally the result of watering issues or a big rain just at ripening time. I find picking them before fully ripe and letting them finish ripening indoors helps prevent it from happening.

All of mine look like that this year too. Usually I only get a few here and there with that much cracking. I am chalking it up to how much rain we have had this year. I still eat them and they still taste good.
