For the non car-folks in this thread :
Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you're standing next to the tire.
This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.
It’s 110-120 for semi trucks. Just a note to not linger by their tires. Blowouts are statistically uncommon, but there’s a lot of trucks out there
Had a coworker who was riding a motorcycle on the highway by a semi when the tire next to her blew out. She ended up dropping the bike and sliding along the road. Fortunately she was covered head to toe in protective gear, but it's still amazing that she wasn't seriously injured.
Myth busters episode sticks out in my mind on this one
Did the truck stop and take responsibility? Or maybe they didn’t even know?
About fifteen years ago I was overtaking a truck on the motorway when one of its tyres exploded. Took out one of my side windows. The haulage company dealt with it well but I got the impression it wasn't the first time they'd had to fix that specific issue.
Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.
So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.
I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.
Rubber tires that size are a safety hazard and should not be permitted. Transportation vehicles should have metal wheels instead that can't rupture. Of course, our current asphalt roads couldn't support this kind of metal-wheeled vehicle, but if we put them on some sort of rail we could solve that problem.
I've been driving a truck for 8 years. Never had a tire blow out myself, but have seen it happen in front of me. It is easy to loose control of the wheel when that happens.
There are a lot of tragic stories of people that had the idea "I'll slash the tires to this trucker to teach him a lesson" but instead they got a physics lesson
90-100psi is actually around the max rating for a lot of tires, and those ratings are usually made with a margin of error.
While it's definitely not good, I don't think it's necessarily the dire threat you're portraying.
It also massively reduces contact with the road.
My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.
Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.
Even if you are a professional driver, "regular driving" and track driving need to be compartmentalized
Not sure which type you might be talking about, but all the tires I've ever seen for passenger cars have 50psi for their max
If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It's less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you're basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.
STOP. CENSORING. EVERY. FUCKING. SWEAR!!!!
Woah woah woah there pal, we don't even say sw--r around these parts, that's too far! If you're going to censor an image at least do it right. smh /j
Now hang on, you can't expect us to actually admit what we're doing here.
Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.
That’s fucked up.
It's an easy way to test your censorship algorithms. People swear all the time. It's also a message to "think what you're saying before posting" which is great because the best censorship is self censorship. By "great" I mean it's essential for fascism. Control how people speak, it makes you control how they think, then you control how they act.
most fascists don't call themselves fascists. so YouTube censoring the word "fascist" tends to muzzle people calling out fascists, not the fascists themselves. it vexes me.
sorry thats not a censor, i just accidentally came on the screen a bit
Unfortunately, if you want censoring to stop, we have to stop letting our lives be ruled by algorithms.
lemmy.ml (used to?) automatically replace "bitch" with *removed*. I'd see people call themselves a "basic removed" or say "removed please" and it was very confusing. it applied to every message.
"cunt" wasn't censored, though? or maybe they removed the filter at some point.
I'm not a tankie so I left and never looked back.
holy shπ
It's particularly infuriating when the censor doesn't even inhibit the ability to read the word. Like, a child can still figure out what that says.
100 psi = 6.89475729 Bar
Wow, everyone should be using metric, this is so much easier!
are you stupid or sarcastic?
I was also confused about this, and started to make a comment about it, then I remembered that this post is on the Shitposting community, and dropped it
For the love of God man, live stream it so we can all share in the glorious moment of triumph!
I've never had a car tire pop but I have had a bike tire pop and it is alarming to say the least.
It gets far worse every couple psi. This was likely 10-20 imagine 50+
That's one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.
Doesn't look like his ears were lucky, but yeah, it exploded vertically lucky for him. But God, imagine the destruction a 90 psi tire would do. Fucking crater where you and the car were.
Super high pressure tires are supposed to be taken off and filled inside a tire cage for this reason. There are videos, I remember one where a guy had his clothes blown off, others not so lucky.
PSI stands for percentage of safe inflation
Have you tried "fix a flat" ? Sometimes it takes a couple of cans per tire.
Just imagine if there was a unit of measure shown as well
