I added sealant, pumped to the 60psi max and set the wheel near a heating vent in the kitchen, thinking to spin it occasionally to distribute the sealant. Fortunately I was in another room when it exploded. The wheel was on one side of the room, the tire on the other and Orange Seal was everywhere. The rim was bent and the tire bead was ruined. Yes, they can explode....
