Eventually it might because we're human, cheap and, stupid.

  1. tire is slowly deflated
  2. driver doesn't notice it and drives on the flat damaging the sidewalls or driver does notice it but drives on the flat anyway to get to safety/a repair place
  3. reason for deflation is found and corrected.
  4. tire with damaged sidewall is refilled with air and driven on.
  5. At some point in the future, under stressful conditions that the tire normally could handle the sidewall gives out in a catastrophic blowout.
