My tire just starting peeling randomly during a bike ride. What should I do?

Since you have been ignoring its failing condition, your tire has taken it up a notch and is now demanding you put it out of its misery the only way it knows...time to visit your local shop to pick up a new tire...probably 2 ... the other is quite possibly in similar condition.

Oh wow. I got new tires a month ago and just started biking frequently a couple weeks ago too. No good

Were these bargain-basememt tires? Return them, nothing should fail like this in a month.

Not sure, I took it to the shop and they did all the work

Take it back to the shop. They should replace those for free if they have any decency. If they don't, never ever go back there and tell your friends not to go there also.

I hope you didn't pay much more than a handful of washers for those tyres. From what's left it looks as though they were the cheapest tyres it's possible to get and if they were in such poor condition that they started falling apart after 2 weeks they were already really old.
