Thank you. That's very helpful.
FWIW they're the A/S tires not the Max Perf Summer, and not as soft as the Summer tires. There is no visible dry rot or other damage, but I hear you on the possible internal damage.
Did you get a vibration at speeds below 90 - 100? Besides the initial flatspot-like thumping at low speeds, I get a shimmy at different speeds between 55 - 90 (haven't gone over 90 yet)
