OK, I didn't take the axle off the wheel, but somehow the drum's cover came off on its own while I was flipping the wheel around. So now I can see the shoes

I just looked carefully at the tire with a magnifying glass and here what it looks like





the last three digits on the tire DOT stamp say 435. I guess that's the date - either 1995 or even 1985 (!!!)
Am I right thinking that this tire must go to the garbage immediately? I thought to keep it on until I can try the engine around the house... But now it looks really bad to me.

Question about the drum: should I clean it inside? Or just leave it and not mess with it at all?
