also, in hot humid weather that sees a lot of rain and then intense sun/heat, you have to really stay on top of the tire pressure and avoid having the tire sit for long periods. Sidewalls get mushy.

Air psi rises 1psi with any 10 degree F rise in temp of the tire, regardless of the cause.
Higher psi = firmer side wall & reduced deformation of tire shape whether stationary or driving.
Tires rarely ever fail from defects. Almost always from insufficient psi to support the weight & forces being placed on it.
