    potential catastrophe?

    If the hole is overlaping the stud is it possible to enlarge the hole and either retap for a larger stud or use a helicoil . Also while I have not tried it myself have had a few people recommend heating the stud and applying wax to aid removal of a stuck stud

    tire cracks

    No actual knowledge on Model a tires but have been repairing and driving 40's & 50's cars for years. I have to agree with other comments about tubes. The tubes are what hold the air and tires with minor cracks or splits will be ok to drive at least I never had a problem for local driving.
