Now that I done a little more research what happened to my tire is not that uncommon, Dunlop tires on rare occassions will self destruct with very little wear on them by splitting open. I'll know more when I get the tire off and can look inside.

I think 5 years is shelf life for motorcycle tires mine were made in april 'o6 so not that old.

They outgas chemicals and dry out no matter where you store them. 5 years max for me.
