One time I actually blew the sidewalls apart on an "iffy" tire with a high pressure washer- serious delamination! And I wanted to put many more miles on 'er.

Ha- Oh, it was that bit! Sometimes I accidentally get a good one in there. One time my buddy and I came upon a '56 Nomad for sale... it was a COMPLETE rusted out P.O.S., practically the only salvageable bits on it were the roof and dashboard. Anyway the For Sale sign said something like $5000 and I said "He must just want to get rid of it"!
