Those tires look old. Maybe it's the quality of the pictures. Check the production date and if they are 8 years or older replace them immediately.
Formal's don't handle good with a blowout.

The tires that WERE on it were old. Had one of those of the car in the sun, it got hot and the tread just went POP, AND CAME RIGHT OFF THE TIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY!

I've actually seen that happen twice. Both times the carcasses stayed inflated for a couple days.
I had a left rear blow on my 78 NYB on I-83 on the way to Carlisle a couple years ago. Not fun. Not a shred of the tire left.....the complete bead was literally gone. I kept her under control and moved to the shoulder and put the spare on it safely. I was lucky that it didn't damage the skirt or anything else.

Happens quite often here in the desert heat. In fact in the last week or two I've lost 3 tires on trailers sitting in my yard.
Love it... she’s a beaut!

Great, something else I would have to buy road wheels for. 
Never thought about moving to Fuselage Imps, polara71?
Nope, the dash is all wrong
