Actually this brings up a question...

One can look at a RFT (or any tire for that matter) once it is dismounted and see it has been destroyed by driving on it- sidewall is shredded due to heating and delam..

But what CAN one reasonably get away with and not damage a RFT?

Is "50 miles at 50MPH or less" going to work? My suspicion is no, that this is the outer envelope on safety, not on 'tire will survive'.

Thoughts?
