Gary,

I have a BF Goodrich G78-14 space-saver on a steel rim, designed to be inflated by an accompanying CO2 canister, that I have never used, and hope to never need.

Today I put vehicle dollies under the rear wheels and saw that the right rear tire, which I aired up last September, has a split outer casing – which it didn't have in September. It is holding air, which is kind of amazing, but the damage is quite impressive. Increasing the pressure in an old and obviously brittle tire must have split the outer belt.
