I noticed a vibration and want your opinion on potential cause. I have attached a picture and suspect the the tire is bad. Take a look and let me know your thoughts. It looks like the tread is starting to separate from the outer sidewall.
What's the date code on the side of the tire? Post it up here and we'll tell how old the tire is. I suspect that is your problem. Like you already know.

When the belt breaks, an "egg" can form that will thump. The tire is probably (very) near the end. Better to retire ( ) it now before it decides to take out a rim or fender (or worse).

Looks to me like the tire has been biting the fender lip possibly, causing the carnage. Vibration from elsewhere?

Looks like mentioned, it has rubbed somewhere at some point. It could have put a small slice in it then cracked and got bigger over time.
It doesn't take much weight missing to cause a vibration, like it a 1/4 ounce wheel weight fell off... so it very well could be why your noticing it now.
