Default Off topic, about my DD. My tire tread kicked my car's ***!

This is what happened to my Volvo. ALL the damage was caused by my tire tread hitting my car, after it decided to depart from the rest of my tire. No, I didn't hit ANYTHING!

In the second pic you can clearly see the MICHELIN ,,last pic looks like xrt-4,,or i can see it anyway!! Looks like a lot of dry rot on what is left of the tread also!!

My question is, how old are they??

yeah, it is dry rotted. Tires are about 8 years old.
And yes, it is the 5 cylinder 2.4L turbo S60.
