The pressure inside the balloon lowers as the atmospheric pressures lowers, and the ballooon ruptures because it expands beyond its elasticity (elasticity is lost mostly due to stretching but also in part by the low temperature of the environment), but what's the point of the observation? How does it relate to Dan's position? |

The sidewall on my tires says maximum > inflation 44psi. That's the rating of the tire, not the tire/car combination. Those tires fit many different vehicles. A heavier vehicle require up to 44psi, but yours doesn't. |

I think at this point he was trying to see exactly how far Dan had his head up his ass. I could be wrong. Have been before. "Stupid people are funny." - me |

That higher air pressure might make your ride a bit stiff. The tires
are part of the suspension on your little guy. ogg Lynn Martin wrote: > I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on > the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle. > > Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire > pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear > 29 psi.

If stepping on the balloon causes the skin to exceed its capacity, then it behaves just as it would if it were at a high altitude, and for the same reasons. |
