    Luckily, not the Ranchero.

    Now, which went first at the rated 50 psig- the tire or the inner tube?

    Tire failure. If the tube let go, it only goes flat. Unless you're driving on it. How old are the tires?

    That looks like the pizza cutter I had in the back of Babe, that let go one sunny afternoon, and they, of course, do not have innertubes. BTW, what is that mounted to?

    Pressure washer - tires a good 10 years old, always exposed to the elements, Chinese? origin. Rather shocking when it let go. I thought it an engine backfire till I quit washing.

    I have an equal quality replacement set of tires coming from Amazon, ha.

    I just went to the J/Y for a replacement for Babe. Likely about the same cost, but made here in North America, for sure. And it has an aluminum wheel!
