Can a tire explode from Over-inflation?
DW took her car into the body shop this morning...again...rear ended in the rain while stopped at a light...drivers in this town are terrible, but I digress.... So she gets a min-van rental from on...

I'm still trying to figure why you're plugging a rental vehicle tire...?? Sure, its simple enough, but this little word called "liability" comes to mind.
Time is money...she is a realtor and had places to be other than waiting at the rental co for them to plug a tire. Van has 26k miles on it, I am certainly not going to tell them I plugged the tire...so not sure how they could attach liability to me. Not to mention the fact that I am confident in my work, so I don't think there would be an issue to start with. If anything I mitigated liability by setting the tires pressures to what they should have been.
DW drove the van about 3 miles back to the house and it was parked before I got to it at noon, so tires were cool. Sidewall says 44 psi MAX, so clearly somebody wasn't paying attention.
T&P thanks for the info, I wasn't sure what the "limit" was for inflating a tire before it went BOOM.
