At what point do things start to go pop?

[–] Beluuuuuuga@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've read quite a few sources that say the tire pressure needed to pop is 200 PSI. Though a recommended amount is only 40, so the 100psi in the image is probably still dangerous. You've also got to think that in hot weather the pressure could increase even more, maybe by 10-15PSI so that could make it even more dangerous.

Not to mention the momentary pressure spikes you get from the tire deforming at speed over a obstacle.
