A tire can look perfect, but still delaminate and have the tread peel off due to age. This really makes a mess of fiberglass body panels when it happens at highway speeds. I actually saw it happen to a friends '70 LS5 vette with a 15 year old BFG that showed no indication of aging (cracks, etc).

Nice pics!
Novadude, you beat me to it. I was going to tell him the same thing!!! Like tomorrow get new tires James.
