Old tyre - can't comment on the age as it came with a bike but the tread was ok, hadn't planned on replacing it so soon.
Front wheel locked up, looked down to see tube bulging out the side jamming one of the brake pads. Thought the rim had failed at first but removed the tyre to see the rubber had sort of unfolded from the bead. So had to go round the corner to buy a very expensive tractor tyre.
