Do you keep your bike outside? I've had a few Compass Steilacoom and Barlow Pass blow out in the sidewalls all of a sudden (scary, in traffic each time), and my theory is it's sun exposure degrading the sidewall after a year or so outdoors in NY. I recently replaced with Conti basketball tires, they are wonderful if not quite as supple, 42 w/ fenders on Cheviot (should be very similar to Sam).
