Intertube tire bead not lining up evenly

My old timer dealer told me he can't count the times it's taken 80#. I've come close to that as well. Safe? I don't know, but he's old and so am I, we're still here, LOL.

A standard road bicycle tire of the skinny racer type runs 115 psi and weighs in at a whopping 220 grams. I prefer the slightly fatter 25mm wide ones and run 95 psi. So I find it almost humorous to hear concerns of catastrophic failure of rather massively more sturdy structures at lesser pressures.

I guess it's cultural. But the only way to know for sure would be destructive testing.

good point! ^ a la bicyclettes I'll keep this in mind next time...""if a bicycle can do this so can I!" mind you, there's all the air of a balloon in a bicycle tire..."la pop!" Not so sure about the KABOOM! of a larger tire...
