Seems the majority of the tires that are coming apart are BFG Radial T/A's.
I used to be a big fan of BFG T/A's. Last 2 sets I bought were off brand.

It's NOT just T/A's. Everyone I have met in this disease I call collecting and restoring Muscle Cars are as guilty of not being realistic with tire life. We will spend STUPID Money to get and install the perfect PCV hose, but forget completely about the age of the tires our Pride and Joy is sitting on. If you're going to drive it, and its over 7-10 years old, throw it away (Besides, Rusty needs the Money!
Unless of course you are showing a car for judging and you need the points. I have been there, and done that for sure. When I was actively showing my Corvettes I was a Hoarder of NOS tires, but I never drove on them except on and off the Judging field, repairing original fiber glass is too expensive, an it also diminishes the originality 10 fold. I will get off my Soap Box now and have a Bourbon , it is Sunday night after all. Bill
