pfrederi 18,719 #1 Posted October 21, 2019 Inflated a couple of very old 6.00x12 so i could stick them on my Electro16 project making it easier to roll around and not take as much room as normal turfs. Inflated them to about 15 psi left them on the floor and about 15 minutes later one went bang. Side wall and tube failure . Guess the sunshine in the window raised tire pressure a bit too much. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #10 Posted October 21, 2019 Aren't the tires only rated for 12 PSI anyways? I always run below that because I'm afraid they won't handle it. 15 seems a bit much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyJam 542 #12 Posted October 21, 2019 Off the top of my head I can’t remember the actual PSI of WH tires. Are rears different than fronts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always run below that because I'm afraid they won't handle it. 15 seems a bit much. 12psi is the recommended pressure for use. Helps grip on grass. Harder and the tyres can slip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 3,263 #15 Posted October 21, 2019 Far better for it to go kaboom 15 minutes later than when your filling it . Hey, let's be careful out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
