    Uhhhhhhhh take this with a grain of sodium. But probably not, when your have your wheel at let say max psi on the side wall, so my truck tires are rated for a max of 80psi. Passenger car tires are typically 50psi. Now when you are driving along you hit a big pot hole or ride over a curb. When backing out of the drive way. In that moment that tire pressure will spike as wheel collapses in. Mind you it’s very brief and probably designed for that.

    Now The best way to tell would be to look for belt shift or separation. It’s pretty easy to see. There will be basically a bulge on the side of the tire or in the center. Where the belting split apart and the rubber in that spot can stretch like a balloon. You will feel it to. The fucked tire will vibrate alot when driving. Very noticeable. Like rattle your teeth noticeable.
