i agree with you on the balloon being irrelevant, that was a spin by dan to
try and save face, did not work....BUT according to dan my tires should
explode when i drive down the road...they have a MAXIMUM rating of 50psi....
and he says that you can never have more than that...i can gurantee you that
when i drive down the road the tires heat up and the pressure goes up a few
pounds...then add the weight and according to Dan i should be on my rims by
now....
