Re: Blowout
There looks to be a lot of cracking in the rubber all around the tread. How old are the tires?

Re: Blowout
Let me guess, its an original "Gatorback" 
Just kidding....
I agree.
The amount of tread left on a tire is irrelevant when they get old.
A tires rubber and components break down just sitting on a shelf.
There are even regulations set for shelf life on tires. After they hit a certain age they cant sell them.
Any way Im glad to hear it did not happen on the Freeway with family in the car.
There would be nothing left but a bent wheel and tire pieces of tire stuck in someone else's car.
