| My girl friend had a low tire (kumho ecsta ast 225/r17 94hxl). i was putting air in the tire which is rated for 50psi max. i wanted 32psi and over inflated to 40psi. as i was letting air out the tire ruptured in my face causing lots of facial abrasions, eye damage (temporary i hope) and hearing loss (also temporary i hope). i do not overinflate tire as after accident the aaa tech checked the other tires and one was at 45 psi. *tr | |||
