Next day both tires have flats, and both holes are right above the rim strips, but both rim strips are intact. One hole is a 1/4" slit, the other is a 1/2" slit. Would you say the tires blew from excess pressure, caused by the heat?
Asking for a friend.
Is 65 the max pressure on the tires or the rims? Keep in mind that your max is the lowest of these two.
Not to mention that 65 PSI is waaaaaaayyyyy too high for beach cruiser tires unless you are over 300 lbs. You gain nothing with that kind of pressure.
