This Is What A 220PSI Tyre Explosion Looks Like
A YouTuber filmed a pair of huge tyre explosions, brought on by pumping in 220psi from a carbon dioxide tank
With a bunch of old, decrepit tyres at his disposal, this YouTuber decided it might be nice to give a pair of them an explosive send off.
First pumping in 200psi of air in one tyre to no effect - before moving from an enclosed garage to open woodland (wise choice) - he then hooked up a carbon dioxide tank capable of pumping in 360psi to see what the old boots could handle. 220psi was the answer, with the tyres sending out a massive, gunshot-like bang as it ruptured.
A second tyre received the same treatment, which resulted in it shooting into the air as it exploded.

Quite.
only need rear tyres in a dodge demon. it would be doing wheelies everywhere. fronts would be brand new forever.
nah it doesn’t need any, its banned so it lives its life in a garage, hoping to stockpile cash like a classic 911
Hammond blew out his tyres the old fashioned way
Today, a guy with 33 subscribers shows us that an old and very much out of date tyre can take 200PSI with ease

Well ,its not that hard to tell the age of a tire.
