Wierd blown tire 120-130

So last week there was a huge BANG! in the middle of the night. I went outside to check the cars etc, we have Crackheads living next door so who knows what they're doing at any given moment...

Nothing was happening so I went inside and went to bed, today I was in the garage checking on some parts I'm selling and look what I found. Wierdest thing I seen in ages and totally the source of said BANG.

It was either just tire fatigue seeing as they were old and just put on the 142 project to keep the good rubber from getting flat spots, or the crazy heat lately made the pressure go nuts and blow. I had to step back and laugh, bizarre...

Anyone have a tire blow like this before?

I think I have a problem with collecting parts, the garage is full the parts 220 is full and my 67 has 1 and a 1/2 of a 142 interior in it. Running out of room, hahaha.
