Ten year old tires, a cautionary tail

I drive an '05 GMC Yukon for work. It's only got 20,000 miles and spent most of it's life in CA. This morning I'm driving down the road and it starts feeling funny--sure enough I have a flat tire. So I get out and look--the tire is ripped and when I look closer you can see it's dry rotted! I'd always thought that when tires get that bad you'd be able to see some sign of it. When I washed it last week there was absolutely no sign of cracking or anything else and they had lots of tread. Thankfully I was going slow and not on the Crazy Town Express when it happened. So I guess the moral of the story is check your tires for age.
