This story has been floating around for a couple years. Maybe there's some truth in it?

I don't believe it's prone to this type of issue as generally there's not much lateral force applied to the tire wall with any sort of debris. These tires are already in use in a variety of construction and agricultural applications btw, you can probably find good data on how they perform there but I've anecdotally heard good things.
