Wear as in some cracking in the outer rubber.  I did not remember them being
that bad when I looked at them but enough to warrant replacement at the next
service. The post mortem of the failure looks as if the cracking was more
substantial than I had thought.  The other side had similer cracks when I
replaced them after the accident. Nothing that looked like the damn thing
was going to explode.
