A whole day on one tyre ?

[Greny]

Had this a lot in my shop in the day. Easy fit is just soap for the dishes , but expensive.... first go till 90 psi , won’t pop , ok . Deflate, then put soap water or wd40 where the tyre won’t pop. Then again 90 psi, repeat this , at one point it will pop ???

My tyre says it has a max of 40 psi. Would 90 be dangerous?

Yup - have seen tires explode at 75-80 psi.

It is not about the pressure - it is about putting a volume of air into the tire in the shortest possible time. Have not found any tire that could not be popped onto the rim using 50-60 psi.

Oh yer - that max 40 psi usually refers to the maximum pressure the tire will work in and not pressure it will hold.

Under 75 they very rarely explode

If it doesn’t pop , we had to do something in our shop ... if it blew (very rarely) . The client got a new one for free .
