Hmm...
Regarding opposing tire internal damage.
I've had a few catastrophic tire failures in 11 years of traveling and don't recall the opposing tire failing anytime soon thereafter or at all...

Most recently I lost an entire wheel with a Michelin XPS RIB Tire this Spring. Not sure exactly what failed, but it was definitely catastrophic! After repairs/spare tire installation, the opposing Michelin XPS RIB tire traveled home from there about 100 Miles. Then it traveled about 1500 miles to from Montgomery AL to Cambridge MN. It sat for 5 months while working there and lost 5 lbs of air over that time (measured around 44 degrees on day of departure last month so some of that "loss" was likely due to the COLD). Then it traveled another 1500 miles from MN back home to AL.
If it doesn't make it to the RGV in TX next month or back home next Spring I will post an update.
