I won’t go near those fucking things. Seen way too many of these videos and know better. I generally avoid semi tires as well just to be safe. |

Re: Worker Dies After Tyre Bursts During Calibration
How does this even happen? Is it a faulty gauge and they're over-inflating the tyre or is it a fault with the wheel?

Shitty old split style rims. If the lock ring isn't seated correctly with the retainer in place *THE CORRECT WAY* it will explode and the outer ring will take your face off at a high rate of speed.
