The experiences I've had with tires scredding have not resulted in any catastrophic failures other than the body work around the tires. Then again, I was dollying cars with old tires that shredded on the rear. One was a mint condition unused spare. It actually did the most damage of all because there was so much tread to all rip off at once together in a very thick alligator skin. I actually think that more bald tires are less likely to peel off their treads.

In every case, I think the ancient tires made it nearly an hour at approximately 50 mph. At least a half hour anyway. So maybe what you want to do is limit your speed and driving time until you can get the tires replaced.
