I bought a Moline 4 Star Super with 2 construction equipment tires, that plainly just looked awful. One was flat, but the upside was that the sidewalls were so herky that you coule have run it without air. Some ole boy in Missouri had the tractor to mow brush, and bought the 10 ply construction tires to replace the ag tires that got tore up by the brush stubble. Well, I found 2 ag tires at an auction, and bought them for $40 for the pair. They weren't something that you would want to take to the fair, but looked serviceable to me. I took the wheels and my "new" tires to the local tire store- they mounted them up, but when I came back, they said they couldn't air them up because they were afraid they would explode. Long, grave faces all around, as if to impress upon me the risk to all of mankind if I persisted in trying to use these tires rather than buy new ones from them. I wondered aloud just how much damage could result from inflating tires to 15 PSI, but quietly took them home, inflated them myself with no grevious bodily harm to myself or others, and am still merrily spreading manure on my unserviceable tires 2 years later, just as happy as if I had good sense. I'm taking the official position that the tires may fail while I'm still young enough to care, and if they do, I'll reluctantly get new ones, but from someone other than the naysayers who tried to buffalo me into new ones.
