At an age of over 12 years, that tire was WAY BEYOND its claimed service life!

i have to apologize for not investigating more carefully, lying on ground in the rain made me hurry. I took the wheel off to get the tire replaced
that the tread had seperated and I found a date code on the back and it is 1705 so it appears the tire in question and probably the rest of them were
made around the same week in May of 2005.
