That's assuming it was caused by high pressure and nothing else.
Did the canvas really break from high pressure (still say 4 times lower than what it can handle anew) or from residual damage from hitting a rock, pothole or curb hard or running them flat?
imho it is not constant force that kills tires, but rather extreme thread bending that happens in the latter.
