This can't be good. Upon doing an inspection before heading off to Z nationals I discovered this on both rear tires. They have less than 5k miles on them but are about 6 years old. Oh well I guess I need some new wheels now.

Yep - lots of stressed or dry-rotting tires out there.

you've only driven 5K is the last 6 years?!

GET THOSE OFF OF THERE! Do not drive even to the tire store!!
Tread separation on our cars is not a pretty thing ( ask me how I know! )

It rains a lot around here and it never comes out in the rain. Durring the winter it stays under the car cover in the garage. When I do drive it, it's local quick rips or to some shows around here.

I think these tires may be a little stressed, so I'll try a different brand when I get new wheels. I can't seem to find a drag radial in a 19" so I'm dropping to an 18".

When you do buy new tires, be sure you are getting new, (one year or less), off the rack. All tires have a production date on them for your protection.
