Any suggestions as to why/how? You can just see a blue ring where the tread and sidewall meet. I know the tires are pretty old and I'll be getting a new set soon.

If not just take a look in amusement.

I've already said about all I know on the subject. I assume the heat or UV is cooking something out of the rubber.

Since I use an open trailer for my tires, I've started waiting until late in the day before an event to load the trailer. At the event itself, the tread is mostly protected from the sun during midday by the fenders, though the sidewalls will get some sun.
