tire temperature

Yahoo Message Number: 17192
I have a friend who has a commercial tire company that also recaps tires. He said that most of the pieces of tires you see on the road are from non-recapped tires. Apparently somebody did a study on it. (probably at the behest of the Recapping industry).
He says that tires will disintegrate when they reach their curing temperature: somewhere around 300 degrees.
I wonder if they will soften and blow out somewhere between the 200 and 300 degree range?

This study was done years ago. I've been retired eight years now, and it was done years before I retired.

I've read that it starts to happen at ~250 degrees (F).
