totally road legal.

Best tyres I've ever owned (and I've tried Yoko A048s and D02Gs) for going fast on the road in most conditions bar actual floods.

Must have been a serious fault with it or defect/damage to cause that. Remember they are supposed to be a fully e marked tested tyre. Even cheap " ditchfinders" i wouldnt expect to disintegrate as they are usually e marked too.
