Default low tire pressure

just wondering but do you guys know what will happen to a tire and rim if there is only 5psi in them. i didn't check my air pressure for a while and was driving, i heard this wierd sound coming from the back tire and when i checked it. it only had 5 psi in them. thought the gauge was faulty so i got another one and it confirmed it only had 5 psi. what do u guys think? i have 20'' wheels and tires.

The number one cause of tire failure is heat damage. And heat damage is caused by insufficient tire pressure.
