These dead tire guys- were they just overinflating for fun, or were they trying to seat beads? Seating beads can be quite a strong transient load... different from overinflating seated tires...

When you start high on the racer the centers cook because the loads are concentrated there now and rubber doesn't reject heat all that well.
