Wow, those 2 front tires, scary indeed. I've had similar issues, but didn't realize the issue until later. The first was some old I think Sears tires that were on my 74 Nova in the mid 80's that developed bulges in the sidewalls of several of the tires, one popped while delivering a pizza one morning, had to take the rest of the day off and get some new tires. Was not aware initially that this was the issue until one rear tire blew, then noticed the other wheels not too far behind. Ended up buying some Cooper Trendsetters on sale that day.
Around 2000 or so, had to replace the michelin tires on my 88 Accord, and went with Yokohomas and by 2005, at least one front tire had tread separating. Didn't realize that until I was at work and noticed the situation. Funnily enough, I never felt the wavering while driving at the time.
Then I think in 2022, had to have both front tires of my current ride, a 2003 Mazda P5 wagon replaced for yep, tread separating. No sign at all while driving so was not aware of the situation, but had to have the car repaired (leaking rear brake caliper) and the shop noticed both front tires were a problem too. Continental extreme contacts, one was old (2013, I think) the other a bit newer.
I've, however, not had the belts show as the tires wore down that badly that I recall on any car I've owned.
