Is this on your Mustang? If so, this could be dangerous. Overloaded tires have been known to fail. Watch them very closely. It takes only a couple hundred miles between the first signs of a tread separation to a catastrophic failure.

First signs = bulges or a vibration.

Catastrophic failure = the tread and top belt come off, damaging the fender area, sometimes losing inflation, and the vehicle could go out of control! People have been killed when a tire fails like this.
