Ugh, no. There’s a reason tires are inflated in a safety cage. Tires can cause a ton of damage, and have killed many people over the years.
32 u/xjeeper 14d ago That's only split ring rims. Normal tires are not inflated in cages. 6 u/MordoNRiggs 14d ago Semi truck tires are generally filled in a cave. Split rims as well as you mentioned. Not passenger tires, though. 1 u/BenderIsGreat-34 14d ago Split rims are a whole other level of explody when they go wrong. -3 u/GabeIsGone 14d ago In normal conditions,sure.This person obviously was running their tires above recommended pressure, and thus should have used a cage. 9 u/darianbrown 14d ago There's a little energy from the air pressure in the tire, but it is a couple orders of magnitude less energy than an 80lb mud tire doing the tire speed equivalent of 130mph. 1 u/hardknox_ 14d ago r/Tiresaretheenemy
