Nevertheless, that's what she said.  As to exploding, well I sure
wouldn't want to hit a railroad crossing with tires at 90 psi...
but I've done it.  Back in '75 I took my X-1/9 to a garage to
have the snows balanced and mounted.  The owner asked his son to
check the inflation.  I stood by and watched the poor kid, about
10 years old, struggle to get a seal with the air hose.  He kept
at it until he got a reading of 32 psi, but with all the hissing
going on, that had to be low.

I eased the car across Idaho Falls, across the tracks, and home
to my own pressure gauge.  All were over 90 psi.
