While out on a recent ride about. An hour in someone pulled up next to me and yelled your back wheel looks funny. So I pulled right over and took a look at my ( dry rotted tires ) đź‘€. Same size tires

Wow, that’s scary! Glad it didn’t explode while you were driving.

I had a retread on my work truck do something like that, it got air between the original tire and the new tread, luckily I was only about a half mile from my house and I was going home for lunch anyways. That was also the last time we tried to save money on tires.

Yeah, I've seen that many times before. The tire is so dry rotted that it's separating from the inside.

Pull the core out of the valve stem. It could blow just sitting there.
