    Sometimes I barely chuckle at the funniest things. And then other times I can’t stop laughing over the dumbest shit. Like this 🤣

    Use cold air so it’ll expand in the tire. Alternatively heat the tires, put them in the sun.

    Keep going, make sure you’re not wearing safety goggles, also make sure not to read up on natural selection until after you’ve aired them up.

    Jesus Christ! A friend of mine exploded a mountain bike tire when trying to inflate it to 100psi, assuming it would be the same as on his racing bike, he said it went off like a grenade. I can’t imagine what a car tire would be like.

      I’ve got one better… I used to work in a bike shop. When building new bikes, it’s common to overinflate the tires (to get the bead seated nicely all around) and then let the excess out. I did that one day with a flat repair, and blew the side of the rim off, it had been worn so thin by the brakes. (This was many years ago, before disc brakes were common)

        Also, we had a deaf girl working with us. If someone exploded a tire (it didn’t happen often, but it was more than never) it would startle her too, she didn’t hear anything, but she said she could feel it.

      I’ve done this with a brand new tub, slipped between the tire and the rim and I just missed it, and it happens quick. Not exactly a grenade, only know that from having been near them too, but loud enough to snap your head real fast.
