Where are you standing when you inflate this tire? So the split ring is on
the inside, thus nothing will explode outward? Frankly, I'd rather be
standing up by the front bumper using a 30 foot extension hose.
I recently met a kid who is now running a whole towing/truck repair
operation. He lost his dad to an exploding tire.
