I am certain it's well over 1% that experience catastrophic failure while welding. No different than "fill that fuel barrel up with water and start welding"... how dumb do you have to be to be so impatient that you can't break a bead and jam some sort of physical blocking device between the bead and the rim before you weld on it? It's not like you have to dismount the thing completely or even remove the wheel from the machine.
That's your suggestion. The videos I've seen say to never weld on any MOUNTED tire, removing the valve or a 2x4 inside the bead is not enough according to them. I would guess it's nothing like 1% of tires that fail that are welded on, most know not to weld on a pressurized tire fortunately. |
Why is welding on a mounted tire dangerous?
