There is little to no inherent tensile strength in rubber. Its only job is to provide traction. In assessing a tire, I also like to see the beads, the sidewalls, the interior structure of the threads, and rotate it to look for anything out of shape. It's hard to tell from a photo.

I agree your next ride dictates the answer to the question. How reliable does it have to be?
