Since the engine is in the rear 25-30 psi for rear tires.

It may not sound like a lot of pressure but factor in the size of the tire and how much weight of the tractor is on top of said tire adds to the pessure on release.

You don't have to be Toby to have a rim job go awry!

You can see the rim flying towards the victim in this screenshot. Camera caught the rim for one frame only that I can see, then the rim completely disappears from the video. Fucking flying rim must have been high velocity.

Sounds like a new sexual perversion but it's not, the "Brazilian Hot Tire" or "Brazilian Rim Job"...

The statistics show that 100% of all Brazilians are expected to die at some point :(
