Today, without checking the tire pressure, I carried something heavy in my lawn cart. It very quickly trashed the tire. The side walls are just attached to the tread by threads.

they are now solid tires; mine have a tube in them.
1) I filled it with air and it looks fine. From a few feet away you can't tell it from the other tire. Is it okay to use like this, or am I risking some sort of disaster?
2) It is a 4.10/3.50-4". I see replacement wheels for $10, but they are 5/8" bore and mine is a 1/2". Is there anything to be done about this? A shim? Take the bearing out of the old wheel maybe?
3) I can buy just a tire, but they are more expensive then the wheels. Are all 4.10/3.50-4" interchangeable, or do I have know something else to have it fit the existing tire. Getting the old tire off and back on was a horrible chore. Is there some secret to it? If not, I really want a new wheel.
thanks
