There are so many anecdotes (scary ones none the less) spread by the oil/car/tire industry about the high pressure that people start to believe and regard them as an absolute true.
I was asking a tie engineer working for one the main stream tire manufacture if he knows or if he had the curiosity to know what is the bursting point of a tire. He said he does not care because this is irrelevant.
I told him that a tire has bursting point between 250 PSI and 280 PSI.
He said this is impossible and very adamant about it, yet he was the one that said he never had the curiosity to test it.
