Strangeness - are my tire sidewalls defective?

I've been riding on these tires since mid-August and they've been progressively popping fibers on the sidewall between the sidewall and the tread. Strangely enough, the majority of the popping fibers are on the driveside both front and rear.

A couple pics:





Would you continue to ride these? In my estimation, at some point enough fibers will have let go to the point the rest fail - and I can foresee this being a quick, catastrophic type of failure. While currently the wheels/tires have been shifted to my short-ride (school) bike, I would like to know what people think. I'll keep using them if I'm overreacting, but will retire them if the consensus is that they're dangerous to use.
