I'm not pronouncing it as the cause, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The tyre would have to weigh a lot to hold 100psi reliably, the

rgds, sreten.

There is something very odd about a 38mm tyre marked 75 psi min to 100 psi max.
The pressure on the sidewall of tires is 1/2 the pressure that will blow the tire off of the rim. The user most likely had a part of the tube under the tire bead allowing the tube to come out of the tire and pop.
