This is why we use pressure gauges.

Even a radially belted car tire will blow out from being over pressure. Get that over pressure tire moving, and the air inside heats up. That means the pressure goes up even more. Sooner or later, boom. Usually sooner. A bike tire is lighter, thinner, and does not have strips of steel embedded in it. They won't take the abuse that a car's tires will.
