Dear God, the arguments we've had... And only over 45 psi! Most people are under the impression that the tires will explode at anything over 30! What's scary is that many people are running around with just 28 psi on the highway because of this fear... And then they forget to check their pressures.

Granted, that would have been more scientific... But the vid claims that the "worn" sets were both at half the tread of the newer sets. They did show that a drover can control it, with the BMW portion of the clip, but those were relatively low speed slides.
