school I went to high school Automotive high in Brooklyn and I was going to become a technician in one stage in my life and I worked for mercedesbenz shout out to Mercedes-Benz and I work for General Motors shout out to General Motors and I learned a lot and messing with Tires Tires is very very dangerous very dangerous you see a lot of videos online where you see tires that explode and they'll flip a person or person standing on the tire messing with it and boom ah tires hold a lot of pressure a regular car tire holds between I think between 30 pounds of pressure and probably up to even 50 pounds of pressure uh and uh PSI which stands for pounds per square inch so if that tire explodes it can seriously hurt somebody so imagine a plane Tire where it's holding a holy now I'm not very sure how much pressure a plane Tire can hold but I think maybe it's up to like 200 PSI that is humongous that is a bomb that is the amount of pressure like almost the amount close to like a bomb so dang
