Needed a tire replaced on a drop&hook. Called for roadside. While I waited, I checked tire pressures and found one tire was inflated to _130 psi cold_ somehow.
@@jeffsorrows the potential energy contained by a truck tire at that pressure is probably higher than a standard size fragmentation grenade. However the shrapnel produced would definitely be significantly less.
I was an aircraft mechanic. I saw in one of our safety magazines the pictures of a mechanic who had a tire blow after more than 300psi on a 10 ply tire. It ripped the corners of his mouth open from the air pressure blowing into his open mouth. He did survive but probably stopped working on tires after that.
I know somebody who was airing up a forklift tire and it blew, breaking his wrists because he had his hands on the tire. I wasn't around to see it, thank God, this was in the 90s. He is still in the business.
In the Air Force we had the good ole taco guy (incident documented from the 80s-90s where he used extremely high pressure on a low pressure split rim aircraft wheel). It exploded and sliced the dude clean in half.
@@vicpetrishak7705Agree however when I was in the truck tire business (I made wheels but a lot were sold w/tires), I had to stop offering Goodyear (the only US based tire co.) because we had so many problems with blowouts. I still dabble and was suprised to see a set of Falken 22.5 recently that were made in US. I also trusted the Japanese & European made tires.
@danielsharon524 It's just a game of statistics. I've had tires of all brands and sizes rupture. Had a few rims bust to over the years. Realistically there is nothing to worry about but that .001% chance of failure is why you cage everything
Had this happen to me a few years ago. I got the truck tire on the truck to 70 lbs and started hearing this. I just had that thought to run and bang right in my face. It was the inside dual and I couldn't hear for 10 minutes. My eyes were full of shrapnel from the tire. Went to the doctor for 2 days to get the steel put of my eyes. If it was the outside one I wouldn't be writing this.
The worst is when you hear a tire make a sound like creaking wood and it's not even seated yet. Tires blowing up is not a fun time, the shop I worked at before the one I'm at now, had a bad steer tire blow when my bosses brother was airing it up. Sounded like a small bomb. My friend/coworker who's in the national guard and has been to Iraq twice told me "I almost told y'all to return fire"
As someone who works on truck tires daily I’ll keep this in mind I mostly install new ones but sometimes I have to mess around with used stuff. Great video
I used to work in a tire shop. Was working on a very small wheel barrow or trailer or tractor tire idrk, but it was tubed. I was used to doing 35 psi on cars, and I got to like 20 psi in the little tube and it blew up. It was like getting hit with a concussion grenade. I didn't even realize what happened, but my ears were ringing for a good 15 minutes while I got my senses back. Can't imagine the damage one of those would do.
Hey bud I did tires for 2 years for Bridgestone/GCR. I would put a inline shut off at the truck. After the shut off put a pressure guage and a blow off valve. So if you hear this you can shut off the air to it and deflate without getting near the tire. Another bonus is being able to shut the air off and check tire pressure. Stay safe my friend.
As a young tire tech I learned that a portable tire cage is essential to staying with the living, particularly on LT and above tires. We even still came across the random rogue split rim and I wouldnt even decompress them out of a cage.
Worked with a guy who died from an exploding loader tire. I was talking to him and noticed his tire nearly flat. I told him, and he left to take care of it. 20 minutes later I hear the call for ems on the radio. A few minutes later, he was dead. It is a weird feeling to be talking to someone and a few minutes later they are dead because they tried to fix a problem you told them about. I felt responsible for quite a long time.
I can understand how/why you could feel responsible as you have some relative involvement but no, you are in no way responsible for the situation nor the circumstances of which it happened. Anyone who has driven a truck is well aware of the potential danger of an exploding tire so regardless of why proper preventative safety measures to avoid such accidents were not taken, the fact is they weren’t and that is out of your control. You are no more at fault than he is for having a flat tire to speak of in the first place
Had a really close call the other day. One of our loader tractors out on the farm had the front left tire get knocked off the bead. I brought the service truck down and tried to put air to it, but it wouldn’t take. So I took the rim off the tractor and put it in the back of the truck and went to the tire shop. They inspected it, started putting air to it and then I heard the zipper. The guy popped the air hose off and yelled,” back up back up!” The sidewall got cut by the rim and we missed it. It was the closest zipper they’d seen that didn’t explode. They said I was damn lucky that the tire didn’t take air and explode in my face out at the farm by myself. Shook me a little. 😳
Though extremely inconvenient they do make tire cages for this. Also. Pro Tip. Those air chucks are designed to be pulled from a safe distance. Whip the hose and the chuck pops off. Sometimes they will damage valve stems but I’d rather replace a stem vs the equivalent of a stick of dynamite going off next to me. For those who don’t know these tires exploding can kill and injure upto 12 ft. Stay safe
Seen a 295/75/22.5 blow in our shop. It busted a bucket, blew the cheetah tool back 15 feet, blew the tire cage all the way around and sounded like a shotgun goin off.
@@jaggns5774 @jaggns not if its a used tire, when the cords in the tire are braking that's the popping sound you hear before it actually blows. Happens from tires being driven on flat or just old weak cords. But yes if you over inflate will definitely blow out aswell👍
My father worked for a mechanic shop that mostly works with heavy trucks. He was sitting at his desk and then he heard a explosion, yes a explosion became that's what it is at that high of a psi. But the mechanic was near it and he said he flew 10 feet plus, bleeding everywhere and his skull cracked in half, he lived but wasn't the same.
I told a customer I couldn’t refill his tire from zero without dismount and cashing the tire to prevent it from hurting anyone. He didn’t listen and did it himself. It blew and sent him flying. Broke his leg, arm and jaw.
@@melissachartres3219 caging. I use swipe sometimes and don’t proof read. Caging the tire is very important as many accidents occur in shops during the inflation process.
I remember when i was younger me and my brother were filling our bikes with air when my brother over filled his tire. It exploded and now still to this day i get the ringing in my ears
So he didn't mar up the brass. Just yanking it out could rip the valve stem off but mostly the brass air chuck is soft metal and noone wants them all marked up n sharp
@@damianbigelow9511 true but who cares you can get it replaced for so much less than whatever medical bill you’d end up with when the tire explodes in your face
Yeah, that shiz is real dangerous, saw once a guy having this issue, the tire with the rim flew up so fast I could have sworn it was a rocket, it blew up at the same time the guy was trying to pick up, oh and yes he was pretty much decapitated.
back in the 70s when I was a kid working in a service station/gas station. A guy brought in a Mickey Thompson rear tire to have me put a tube in it. This was a service station where I had to work on cars, and go out and pump gas when a customer would pull in. Back then we cleaned your windshield, and your rear window, checked your oil, while your car was being filled with gas. If you asked us to put air in your tires, we did that, while we were checking your oil, we would look at your fan belts, battery terminals, and we would also fill your windshield washer bottle for free. so I got this tire that I had to put a tube in on the atlas pneumatic tire changer. I broke the bed, got the tire halfway off the rim so I could put the tube in, put the tube in, put the tire back on the rim, attached, the air hose to the Schrader valve, and a customer came to the pumps. I walked out to the pumps, the guy said, fill it up, I put the nozzle in the gas tank, and started cleaning his windshield, then another customer, pulled in, same deal, I started, filling his tank, cleaned his windshield, then I went back to the first customer to complete closing his gas tank and hanging up the hose, and right at that moment, I remembered I had a tire filling with air on the tire machine.. oh shit, as I turned to run into the bay to take the hose off the tire, the tire exploded. The air hose whipped up in the air and broke two fluorescent lights, and it broke one of the windows on the rollup doors.. we had advertising banners across the openings of the doors near the soffit, they both got blown straight out, all the dust that had collected on tops of the shelves and beams got blown into the air. It looked like the building was filled with smoke that’s how much dust there was on the beams and shelves. Tire shrapnel scattered all over the lot all the way out to the street which was about 70 feet away.. it service station had a very large commercial compressor, upright, two cylinder compressor. I was very lucky I did not make it into the building to get that hose off. Luckily, I had the yolk that tightened the wheel down onto the tire machine attached. people were stopping out on the street to see what the explosion was when the customer came back later that day for his Mickey Thompson tire , I told him that the tire just exploded. He said, I didn’t think it would hold because the tire had a slice in it.
It should be aired up in a cage, or bolted to the truck. You also disconnect the 10 foot air line extension. Don't ever walk up on the tire. But he does it for a living. I don't anymore. Thank God he didn't get hurt.
I had a tire explode once and ill tell you if i hadn't of steped back when I heard that id be dead now. The explosion was so loud that it gave me tinnitus that persists to this day.

Tires can also make a very similar sound when the bead sets off center and then corrects itself once the air pressure comes up. Thing is, that's normal and doesn't kill people. Zippering definitely can.
Thank you for the demonstration. Never knew what the older guys would mean when they mentioned the sound of a tire about to blow. Popcorn is a good one. Heard to many say it sounds like a zipper.
@@tripplefives1402 thats surprising, usually when I've seen them blow it just damages some fiberglass or plastic around them, the worse damage I've seen is when the retread starts coming off and destroys everything it hits
Yes Doctor, now show us the mobile tire cage and remote shut off valve, guess this is why TIA recommends you first inflate to 120 psi with the valve core removed. (tire industry association)
Overfilling isn’t the cause. They can and will explode even at pressures under max pressure. That sound is the sound of the cords of the carcass tearing apart. If enough tear, the whole ply will tear explosively and the tire will explode. They are tearing because something has caused them to weaken. In this case it was dry rot. In other cases it can be heat or other damage or a manufacturing defect.
“I may not be alive tomorrow” Well dude get your shi straight and purchase a tire cage for examples like this. Had it exploded and the tire hurt you or someone, that’s blood on your hands… Smh
Yeah, I had a tire guy nearly kill us both by exploding a tire which was making that noise. Missed me by a couple feet when it took off and it missed him by inches. I don't go check on the tire guys anymore.
Yep i remember hearing that on my Sonoma with reinforced sidewalls and thinking "huh that's weird" then drove to work ... Tire exploded after three potholes and almost whipped me into a tree lol
Thank you for showing this! This needs to be known to new people entering the field. When I would train new guys(tire techs) I always warned them about how dangerous these big rig tires can be, I watched dude have his face ripped off.. so I’m anal about them not paying attention while inspecting tires and watching the tire air up, but they always ask well how can you tell, Im like you’ll hear the bands popping but you’ll know just pay attention. Although I love the sound they make when they go off lol.
pretty much. when it doesnt seem right its pretty obvious. hmm car tire 200 psi seems legit. truck tire 25 psi totally. reading the sticker on the door vs reading whats actually on the vehicle and make a very big diff. ask me how i know.
As a tire guy when you hear that noise you grab the air hose far enough away from the tire & try shaking it so the air chuck comes off the stem! It’s caused from running the tire low on air for an extended period and it weakens the steel cords to the point of breaking when you air the tire! What you are hearing is the steel cord breaking making that popping noise!
It’s funny this video came up considering no less than an hour ago I was filling a trailer tire and it started to make the old creak. Didn’t have the balls or the stupidity to keep filling it. So out came the bars to throw a new skid on! Love watching ya change tires with the bars, thought that was a dying method
Rode on some 20 year old slick dryrotted hankooks for 3 months speedrunning through the day hauling loads of trash and materials while overinflating them by 10 psi. Spare tire was also gone. Powerslid through every corner and tires would hop pulling out of driveways. A staple in my rear tire finally made me get a new set.
Hey, junkyard guy here. Make sure to keep what he said in mind! A lot of these junkyard places leave the tires out in the sun and even though they look pretty those dry rot lines will make the tire worthless/go bad quick. So no matter how good they tire is, how little its been worn out always check that dry rot on the side
Honestly? Tyres are one of those things that should only be bought brand new. They are the quintessential component, which keeps your vehicle safe and steady on the road. It is not worth cheaping out.
Heard this sound unknowingly while (thankfully) only blowing up a dollie wheele. Ended up blowing up and my hand got hit with the metal rim and was swollen for a couple days. Wild i didnt break bone.
This is why there are tyre cages. In the shop I work, the day shift employees used to leave snobby, self-righteous remarks about me signing out the tyre cage because I was the only one using it. I ignored the remarks left in my workstation and kept signing out the tyre cage whenever I had to do any sort of tyre work. One night, I left a message for the day shift boss as to the lorry I was repairing. The message would not go through. The following night a message in my workstation said the day shift boss was fired. I found out an employee died because of a tyre explosion with no cage to contain it. This is why the day boss was fired.
I've always been afraid of overinflating a tire. I know most consumer tires can handle double their PSI for the vehicle but still. It's also not the damage that it may cause it's the sound and potential deafness from it.
Man, i know you have ligma, and its pretty serious, but please dont have such a grim outlook, be positive, its all gonna be alright. Hope never hurts. We are all praying for you to get better, lets see us tomorrow too!
Worked in a truck repair shop. Driver had a spare super-single he wanted to use rather than buying a new one. It appeared ok but while airing it up in the tire cage, heard a zipper then BOOM one heck of a bang. Had the cops show up at our shop, someone had reported a gunshot lol
Anxiety levels skyrocketed seeing the guy reach for the line because I saw a live leak video of a Chinese worker get blown to shreds from a tire exploding
I know some of yall have seen "shake hands with danger" , when that lock ring blew out and they put a human size dummy next to it . It exploded and sent the head several hundred yards away
There's a patch in the roof of a shop near here, old tire shop and they had a split rim come apart. I've dealt with lock rings on heavy equipment (we have a grader) and that stuff will kill you lol.
My diesel teacher told me to have the tire standing up right and place you hand on the tread and you can hear and feel when it’s gonna blow and deflate it before it does
I just bought a 10 year old motorcycle. It's been sitting still for 7 years. It has the original tires. I'm changing those as soon as I get the new ones.
the ending concerned me
I know right holy shit
It’s true tho

Nobody is guaranteed to be alive an hour or even a minute into the future

Putting 120psi in truck tires separates the men from the boys lol
Also separates the head from the body 😅
We have 130psi in our 385/55R22.5. Those things blow up like oversized hand grenades.
@@tntfreddan3138 I'm just imagining the explosion effect on loose dirt would probably look extremely similar, but I'd have to see tire blow up to compare it to a grenade haha

@@jeffsorrows the potential energy contained by a truck tire at that pressure is probably higher than a standard size fragmentation grenade. However the shrapnel produced would definitely be significantly less.
I was an aircraft mechanic. I saw in one of our safety magazines the pictures of a mechanic who had a tire blow after more than 300psi on a 10 ply tire. It ripped the corners of his mouth open from the air pressure blowing into his open mouth. He did survive but probably stopped working on tires after that.
So THATS how he got those scars
I know somebody who was airing up a forklift tire and it blew, breaking his wrists because he had his hands on the tire. I wasn't around to see it, thank God, this was in the 90s. He is still in the business.
Yeah, the training material can be pretty hardcore. A lot of stuff you will never forget about
In the Air Force we had the good ole taco guy (incident documented from the 80s-90s where he used extremely high pressure on a low pressure split rim aircraft wheel). It exploded and sliced the dude clean in half.
You can say he got a bit tired of that job.
I use 2 air hoses. If anything happens, I disconect the hoses from each other and let air out. I definitely know that sound and the following boom.
Good idea. Makes it safer than getting right up to the tire and disconnecting
That's a really good idea. Underrated comment here
I would have un hooked the line from truck not walk over the tyre bit silly if ya ask me
In the heat of the moment people tend to do stupid shit

You earned this sub right here mister.
Stupid, not badass
Been doing commercial and OTR for 9 years, just found your channel haha subbed 🤘
Tires can also make a very similar sound when the bead sets off center and then corrects itself once the air pressure comes up. Thing is, that's normal and doesn't kill people. Zippering definitely can.
RIP Tire Doctor. We all loved you.
Tire cage my boy.
Watch what you say bro, I was joking about having a peg leg and look at the thumbnail that’s what happened about two months ago
Pfp or profile picture thumbnail is the videos

How'd it happen?
Thank you for the demonstration. Never knew what the older guys would mean when they mentioned the sound of a tire about to blow. Popcorn is a good one. Heard to many say it sounds like a zipper.
One of my biggest fear are tires exploding. Thank you for educating me on what to look for 👍🏻.
Awww, I was hoping to see it go boom
Thats why you air them up in a cage or with the rim bolted on the truck, so they don't kill you
@@tripplefives1402 you sure your not filling your tires with propane? I've seen plenty blow out but never blow the whole side of a truck off
@@tripplefives1402 thats surprising, usually when I've seen them blow it just damages some fiberglass or plastic around them, the worse damage I've seen is when the retread starts coming off and destroys everything it hits
Yes Doctor, now show us the mobile tire cage and remote shut off valve, guess this is why TIA recommends you first inflate to 120 psi with the valve core removed. (tire industry association)
Crazy I just heard that same noise this morning while filling a tire. But I constantly checked the pressure and it wasn't getting overfilled.
Overfilling isn’t the cause. They can and will explode even at pressures under max pressure.
That sound is the sound of the cords of the carcass tearing apart. If enough tear, the whole ply will tear explosively and the tire will explode.
They are tearing because something has caused them to weaken. In this case it was dry rot. In other cases it can be heat or other damage or a manufacturing defect.
Finally the best info you ever have given out of what dozens of posts 😂
“I may not be alive tomorrow”
Well dude get your shi straight and purchase a tire cage for examples like this. Had it exploded and the tire hurt you or someone, that’s blood on your hands…
Smh
He's right it sounds like popcorn and that's the steel chords breaking inside
Yeah, I had a tire guy nearly kill us both by exploding a tire which was making that noise. Missed me by a couple feet when it took off and it missed him by inches. I don't go check on the tire guys anymore.
Yep i remember hearing that on my Sonoma with reinforced sidewalls and thinking "huh that's weird" then drove to work ... Tire exploded after three potholes and almost whipped me into a tree lol
Thank you for showing this! This needs to be known to new people entering the field.
When I would train new guys(tire techs) I always warned them about how dangerous these big rig tires can be, I watched dude have his face ripped off.. so I’m anal about them not paying attention while inspecting tires and watching the tire air up, but they always ask well how can you tell, Im like you’ll hear the bands popping but you’ll know just pay attention.
Although I love the sound they make when they go off lol.
pretty much. when it doesnt seem right its pretty obvious. hmm car tire 200 psi seems legit. truck tire 25 psi totally. reading the sticker on the door vs reading whats actually on the vehicle and make a very big diff. ask me how i know.
Just saw beyond the press test this. The force from these tires blowing is incredible.
I've seem them blow, it's very deadly. Be safe man
I sure like watching the tire doctor . His videos are knowledgable and sometimes funny keep up the awesome work tire doc.
LMAO.... That ending was gold, homie.
As a tire guy when you hear that noise you grab the air hose far enough away from the tire & try shaking it so the air chuck comes off the stem! It’s caused from running the tire low on air for an extended period and it weakens the steel cords to the point of breaking when you air the tire! What you are hearing is the steel cord breaking making that popping noise!
Every tire I've heard go off in a garage sounded like a tank turret sending off a round!
Last one awesome 😅😃😃
This is good to know as service tech at a tire shop💯
It’s funny this video came up considering no less than an hour ago I was filling a trailer tire and it started to make the old creak. Didn’t have the balls or the stupidity to keep filling it. So out came the bars to throw a new skid on! Love watching ya change tires with the bars, thought that was a dying method
Hey thanks for this hella useful info actually something good on social media appreciate it!
Love the videos keeping people safe 👍👍👍
You can see the run flat marks on the inside sidewall. Good recovery there though. Love the videos
Finally, someone who knows when to "pull out in time" 😂
Rode on some 20 year old slick dryrotted hankooks for 3 months speedrunning through the day hauling loads of trash and materials while overinflating them by 10 psi. Spare tire was also gone. Powerslid through every corner and tires would hop pulling out of driveways. A staple in my rear tire finally made me get a new set.
I have upper dentures from a semi tire that exploded in the shop. That sound seriously brought back nightmares
Hey, junkyard guy here. Make sure to keep what he said in mind! A lot of these junkyard places leave the tires out in the sun and even though they look pretty those dry rot lines will make the tire worthless/go bad quick. So no matter how good they tire is, how little its been worn out always check that dry rot on the side
Honestly? Tyres are one of those things that should only be bought brand new. They are the quintessential component, which keeps your vehicle safe and steady on the road. It is not worth cheaping out.
Buddy you nailed it !
Hearing an energized system make new noises is my que to run and duck.
Heard this sound unknowingly while (thankfully) only blowing up a dollie wheele. Ended up blowing up and my hand got hit with the metal rim and was swollen for a couple days. Wild i didnt break bone.
Learned something new today, tires got zippers
Best reason to subscribe any channel just got found
Whoever took the air chuck off is no joke, I run away fast when I here that. Btw, not just the tire, those multi-piece rim will f you up too.
This is why there are tyre cages. In the shop I work, the day shift employees used to leave snobby, self-righteous remarks about me signing out the tyre cage because I was the only one using it. I ignored the remarks left in my workstation and kept signing out the tyre cage whenever I had to do any sort of tyre work. One night, I left a message for the day shift boss as to the lorry I was repairing. The message would not go through. The following night a message in my workstation said the day shift boss was fired. I found out an employee died because of a tyre explosion with no cage to contain it. This is why the day boss was fired.
I've always been afraid of overinflating a tire. I know most consumer tires can handle double their PSI for the vehicle but still. It's also not the damage that it may cause it's the sound and potential deafness from it.
I didn't know I needed this information, but I am happy to have it, now.
Thank you, I’m always worried I’m gonna over fill the tire even though that doesn’t make sense but thanks
Man, i know you have ligma, and its pretty serious, but please dont have such a grim outlook, be positive, its all gonna be alright. Hope never hurts.
We are all praying for you to get better, lets see us tomorrow too!
PSU is like the most important component of a PC, buying cheaper alternatives is basically like planting a C4.
Worked in a truck repair shop. Driver had a spare super-single he wanted to use rather than buying a new one. It appeared ok but while airing it up in the tire cage, heard a zipper then BOOM one heck of a bang. Had the cops show up at our shop, someone had reported a gunshot lol
I was on the public bus and right under me a huge explosion, tire blew.
Anxiety levels skyrocketed seeing the guy reach for the line because I saw a live leak video of a Chinese worker get blown to shreds from a tire exploding
That sound gave me the willies.
Tires like that are like land mines, one wrong bump and "kafuckinboom!"
I know some of yall have seen "shake hands with danger" , when that lock ring blew out and they put a human size dummy next to it . It exploded and sent the head several hundred yards away
There's a patch in the roof of a shop near here, old tire shop and they had a split rim come apart. I've dealt with lock rings on heavy equipment (we have a grader) and that stuff will kill you lol.
My diesel teacher told me to have the tire standing up right and place you hand on the tread and you can hear and feel when it’s gonna blow and deflate it before it does
your diesel teacher doesnt like you very much i fear.
@@chehystpewpur4754 teacher didnt get the memo about tire cages apparently...
Good thing he doesnt service aircraft tires.
I was in a garage once when a bicycle tube popped.... I can only imagine how loud that one would be
We had one blow up at work last month. It was inside a warehouse, it was the loudest thing I've ever heard, by far.
I just bought a 10 year old motorcycle. It's been sitting still for 7 years. It has the original tires. I'm changing those as soon as I get the new ones.
Thanks for this video I work on a tire shop and if I hear that on a tire I’m going to yell explosion warning and tell everyone to get out of the way
