My biggest concern is when inflating these tires how structurally stable are they? Even a low PSI tire like a golf cart tire can be an accident waiting to happen. If the air leak starts as a "hiss" not that big of a deal. But if that mere 20 psi blows the whole sidewall out in an instant that is a different situation. I had a friend last summer who was inflating a small rotor tiller tire. It was an old tire and before he got it fully inflated it blew up. He had to have surgery on his hand and was lucky that he didn't lose any fingers or eyes.
