minus-squareI'm back on my BS 🤪@lemmy.autism.placelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoRoad bicycles like the ones used in the Tour de France use pressures in the 120-140 psi range, but cars generally float around the 32 psi area.
minus-squareCookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoProbably less these days as it’s shown lower pressures and larger tires can improve performance.
minus-square_thebrain_@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoNot in a car… But 10 or 12 ply truck/tractor/trailer tires can run around 90 psi
minus-squareHairyHarry@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI just looked it up. It seems that normal car tires will explode at 115 - 145 psi.
minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYeah you can definitely do it with car tires for a short time at least, that’s how you check for leaks (overpressure to like 80 psi and put it in a tub of water, look for the bubbles)
