I'll get some pics but wanted to see what you all thought could of caused it!
Long story short, blew my head gasket in my blazer last night and had to pull out my camaro that's never been in snow out until I can find a winter beater! :'(
Went to get on the highway and luckily only got up to almost 60 and the tread separated from the outer side wall!
I'll get a picture and info on it here soon! Tires all have good tread on them and I haven't seen any rot on them! The car before I got it (few weeks ago) wasn't driven much. In the past 2 yrs it was driven 2-3k miles!

I know the tire sizes are 245/50/r16 I forgot to look at the brand and everything. They are on stock GM Chrome 16"s
I'm kind of wondering if maybe the tire got low cause I didn't even think to check them when I picked the car up. So maybe I was driving on the side wall and then destroyed it? I hope so cause I'd hate to have to go and replace all these tires!

I've got a whole set of silver rims I might go and have some used snow tires put on that way I atleast have something and not riding around with the chrome ones for the time I have to drive it!
