Prius Tire Explosion

i put 110 psi in my tires but, i'm having a problem turning my front wheels.



any suggestions?

 

Get your fenders rolled

 

Take out the three tons extra payload you had to add to get the contact patch that large.

 

This is why I fill my tires with water. You can use high pressures without all of the stored energy associated with compressed gas.

Did anyone even ask her who put 95psi in the tires?

 

We had an auto mechanic killed in an DC area auto repair shop this past Thursday, when a tire exploded. I was not able to access the link to see if we were talking about the same case. Do not have any details.

 

That was an industrial tractor tire:

This is an old thread, so it isn't the same case.
