Woooahhh, that is scary. I've had this happen in the past with junk trailer tires, but never seen it on a track tire. Glad it didn't blow, that would have been a MESS.

15w50 is fine to drive to/from. They only say not to street drive 15/50 because of higher emissions. I’ve spoken with high level GM engineers who use 15/50 all the time themselves.
