It's serious on any car.  If it's a front tire on a Super Beetle, it'll shake the car apart.  I'll run tires down until you can see the air inside as long as they stay round, but when belts start slipping and they start growing lumps and busting open, it's time to replace them.

Since its is a back tire,  I should be OK .  I filled in the crack with rubber cement.  That will do it.   sc

Exactly.

Replace it with a NEW one.

Period.
