Schwalbe Luganos splitting?

Hey all,
Anyone else experienced problems with Schwalbe Luganos splitting? I've had a pair on the commuter for a few months, they've probably done ~1000 miles in that time & whilst the front still looks pretty good, the rear has begun to split between the rim & sidewall to the extent I thought my wheel was about to collapse it was wobbling so much! Checked the brake pads & they're nowhere near the tyre so that's not it, but a cursory google search thows up a few similar stories with these tyres - didn't realize they had a max inflation of 108 psi so it's possible i've been close to that when pumping them up with my old track pump, but never seen tyres split like that before, which is a shame as they're cheap & otherwise pretty good.
I'd better get haribos
Cheers,
John
