Fuck, what a stupid way to die. Do NOT fuck around with inflated tires, /o/. They can and will continue to kill people.
>According to a 911 call released by Salem police, a caller reports that a worker was filling up the tire when it "exploded off the machine" and hit both men in the head.

>Sears
Found the problem
Whats a "Large Tire"? Is it some big 'ole brotruck tire or an actual truck tire? Either way it sounds like something Sears shouldn't have been doing anyway.
this used to freak me out when setting beads on our kart tires. once they get to 80psi and bead still hasnt popped you start getting pretty nervous
>Inflating truck tyres outside of the cage
This is called natural selection, and is a good thing.
>inflating tires out of the cage
what are you? retarded?
oh man those things are loud when they let go
boom
Just out of high school, I was working for a diesel truck repair facility. tractor trailer tires were aired up inside a reinforced cage that had 3" tubing. One day I heard a blast louder than anything I've ever heard. The split rim blew apart, the ring went through the cage, through the cab of a truck, then bounced off the walls and ceiling before coming to a rest. No-one seriously hurt, just some damaged hearing for a couple days.
>>14082117
jesus talk about being the unluckiest fucker alive
>>14082124
what the fuck
>>14082128
He was going to slice the tire. Fucker got what was coming to him.
I had one big 10 lug rim blow up before:
I did the "lean the clamp ring side of the tire against a solid wall" thing when it happened, and I won't do that again. I put the air chuck on it and walked over to the air valve and started airing it up and it blew the clamp ring off, and I HIT THE DECK! The clamp ring hit the wall, and the rim BLEW OUT of the tire and shot 20 FEET out into a field. That scared the crap out of me.
>>14082124
Sounds like some pleb pumped 150psi into it
>>14082124
>just some damaged hearing for a couple days.
There's no such thing as temporary hearing damage.
Enjoy your EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>14082158
aren't most truck tires about 100 psi?
>>14082141
oh he actually did slice it. i thought he was going to take the tire off or something and just got unlucky as fuck.
>>14082162
Yes dickhead, and every time you use your clutch you're damaging it.
Learn the difference between damage and wear.
By the time my shit is deaf we'll have god tier implants

Cages are useless. If your so worried about the tire exploding when your adding air to it the only safe place it can be is bolted to the vehicle. Seat the bead, install the wheel and THEN air it up all the way. If it explodes the wheel wont go anywhere, and the tire will just flop there, since most tubeless tires don't just come apart into 50 pieces, they zipper and open up, like >>14082117
The problem is cages offer a false sense of security. The tire is just as likely to blow up as you reach into the cage or roll it over to the vehicle as it is in the cage. Hell, in theory its more liable to explode being installed on the vehicle as its being handled pretty rough there.
That being said, its often the tire itself failing, which is normally preventable. The split rim design is shit and should never be inflated past 30 PSI without being properly bolted to the vehicle.
Damn I drove right by there just a few hours before that happened.
Tyres exploding are terrifying, only heard one from another room and you can feel it
>>14082113
Have those same rims on Hilux however I've heard those are not proper split "killer" rims.
I and tire guy did take few steps back while airing those up tho.
I was out cycling (don't hate me /o/) a few months ago at about 1am, roads were quiet as fuck, all was great.
Come to a T junction, I'm stopped at some lights, huge artic flatbed truck turning out off a main road, all of a sudden the tyre nearest to me FUCKING EXPLODES.
Almost fucking shit myself, rubber flying everywhere, dusty, particulate shit everywhere. No holes in me, body intact.
Cycle off and get a new PB due to adrenalin rush.
Fuck pressure man.

I just recently bought a manual tyre changer as I'm so fed up with tyre places. My wheels are only 14 inch so it shouldn't be too hard.
Will give it a go when I get the chance... my (grippy enough) all seasons may well last as long as I desire to keep this car
>>14085654
Bolt it down to a piece of plywood and use A LOT of lube. Good lube too.
You can use a mojo bar or a no mar lever if you don't want to scratch your rims. Otherwise, they work pretty good, just take technique and elbow grease.
It will pay itself off with the first tire change you do. The harbor freight is even cheap enough to throw away as shops will charge you twice what the HF tire changer cost just to mount.
>>14085654
Isn't that just a bead breaker?
As long as you arent worried about scratching up the rims and arent using lowpro tires a set of spoons works fine.
>>14085691
The bit on the bottom is a bead breaker but on top you can mount the tyre afterwards to attack it with a tyre lever
>>14085673
I bolted it down to my garage floor which is concrete and used a torque wrench to set the concrete anchors.
Yay for autism
>>14085654
I got one from Harbor Freight and did about 10+ sets and randoms for friends. It really does pay itself off, but keep in mind that the first thing to fail will be the bead breaker . Some beads will be VERY stubborn and could bend the frail thing, if they don't use plenty of lube anyways.
Also buy one of these, saves time...and could be used to fuck with anyone you dont like.
>>14082271
>Seat the bead, install the wheel and THEN air it up all the way.
seating the bead is usually the problem here, not just filling the tire with air.
there's a sticker on our mounting machine at work that says not to go past 40 psi while seating beads. the tires themselves will say not to exceed a certain psi as well (usually around 40) under load. often times for the sake of getting the job done, techs will fill tires up to 80 psi to seat the bead. personally, i don't think risking getting my fingers blown off (probably best case scenerio) is worth $11 and hour.

Hearing impaired anon here
We do have god-tier implants right now, I've actually got almost all of them in my head. Born with cancer-style crap in my ears, grows, covers, and eats away at the bones in your ears/base of your skull. Took 10 years of surgeries to get it under control, then I got the implants. Brought me from 'severe' on the hearing chart (one rank about 'fully deaf') to 'mild-normal' hearing in both ears. Didn't pay a cent. Thanks Canada, 10/10 would be a labrat again.
Although just a free warning to all you faggots, tinnitus never goes away. Ever. Even now I can still hear a gentle eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee if I listen close at night, so don't fuck with your ears if you ever want to hear perfect silence again.
>>14085803
oh yeah, then there's the super sperglord that i work with who will fill the tire up and then beat it with a rubber mallet it in a pathetic attempt to seat that bead, even past recommended psi.

You fill to car manufacturers specs not max tire psi
three piece forklift wheel allays make me a bit nervous
I've heard of them failing during use
>>14087190
>hit a bump
>boom
the claimed max can be up to a third of the peak pressure the tire can handle
but this is rarely the case
as for proper pressure
some of the older cars have a metal plate to indicate cold tire pressure
and haynes manual will also cover this
>>14085826
Yep! Multiple concussions and exposure to loud noises at a young age here. Sounds like the TV is on 24/7 in my head. Not a good time. Take care of your head

Usually only young people can hear the background whir of a TV which is muted. Kind of similar to how they have anti teenager 'MOSQUITO" noises.
When I was high school my science teacher couldn't hear it and he would've surely looked after his hearing in his life.
>>14081995
Since I live in the general area I've seen a lot about this on the news. Someone at the store who saw the victim called it "gruesome".
>>14084108
I was on a long drive a couple of years ago, was a really hot day by English standards, in 400 miles we had 3 lorry tires blow out either next to us or slightly ahead of us, within 20 or 30 meters at least and 1 so close the car was dented by some rubber. I couldn't help thinking about that mythbusters truck tire blowout episode.

You lose frequency range as you get older. It's not damage, it's just your body slowly falling apart.
>>14087335
Well it is damage. But only natural wear and tear on the body
>>14087315
I don't even think all young people can hear it. Some CRT TVs produce the most annoying, high pitched EEEEEEE ringing sound the entire time they're on and nobody else seems to hear it.

ATV tires are shitty little things. If I have the displeasure of working on one, I leave it at 20-25 PSI for a few hours to make sure the beads are nice and seated before dropping them down.

>>14082060
nigger, never go past it's design limit.
The trick is to make sure you soaped up adequately and remove the valve stem for faster filling. If you don't do it the first time do it over with moar soap and wiggle the tire strait. Never had an issue, ever. Especially with some little chode tire you faggot

2007 D22 Nissan Frontier. It left Thailand with 205R16 Dunlop grand trek tires that have a max rating of 65 psi, which is what the loaded rear pressure spec is. They don't sell LT tires here because no one buys them when you can find the same/equivalent size in a cheaper passenger tire and run that instead. These are the vehicles that you see being beat to shit on national geographic so an extra $100 on tires really cuts into the bottom line so much that it is totally unprofitable for the next month or so and by then you have shredded them anyway because your alignment is totally out and that piece of steel you just ran over in the mud would cut through anything . Any real working vehicle over 4.5 gross metric tons tends to run 7.00R16.5 and up and those are the beginning of commercial truck tires.
