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.

Much as I hate to say it, these tires are dried out on one side and are weak therefore they gotta go. The tread and one side may be brand new but the point is, one side is too weak to ride. It's quite painful to fall at speed so either ride slowly or replace the tires, your choice.
