A tire is a composite air supported structure made from high strength wraps of fiber/fabric/wire/rope/cord. And made air tight and given traction with different layers of various types of rubber. The entire deal is sealed together with heat and adheres together like hot glue. If the rest of the tire is sound,the damage is limited to a low stressed area and depending on the size of the damage. The damaged area can be ground out, sometimes stitched and refilled with rubber. Then baked under heat with pressure and hope for the best. Excessive high temps from friction caused by too low inflation pressure,too high speed, too heavy loads & hot pavement over and extended distance. Will heat a tire enough it "unglues" and comes apart. Pretty much explains the Firestone Ford Exploder adventure.
