Man, that thing was hot when I pulled it off!
A really hot tire with blown sidewall is often a sign of running under low pressure. I ran over a piece of pallet once and a staple punctured the tire. It leaked really slowly and the tire overheated with sidewall failure before it went fully flat. That was in my work truck and not the Box though.
