This is exactly why the say you should replace your tires at 7 years. I =
have seen many tires that are 15 to 20 years old with lots of good =
tread. If you run your hand over the tread you can feel the seperation =
inside the tires usually.
What is the date code on these tires? These tires have not been =
available for a long time I bet they are at least 15 years old and =
probably older.
This is not a new thing. I have had many articles that we have had in =
the National magazines as far back as probably 15 years ago talking =
about paying attention to the YOM of your tires. I have had many people =
over the years disagree until they have something like this happen to =
them.

speed, which probably was caused by a delamination of the sidewall.

All I have to say about this is if your tires are more than five years =
old you should consider replacing them all. I've had seven year old =
tires with no tread loss not be able to stop adequately in wet =
conditions because the rubber is so hard!
