It's probably your compressor...

However
That's very scary if you really do push it like that. We had to watch videos during training at the tire shop I worked for, they showed a tire inflated until it burst, it flew about three stories in the air. Of course that tire/rim was off the car,but it was locked into the tire mounting/dismounting machine. They have a special 6" steel tube cage lag bolted to the concrete for tires that won't seat on the bead... to keep people faces from getting taken off. A tire popping at normal PSI can be dangerous, fill it until it bursts and it's a whole new ballgame.

Worker Killed When Tire Explodes : Sylmar: The force of the blast hurls the rim through the roof of the shop where the man was employed.
August 13, 1991|LESLIE BERGER | TIMES STAFF WRITER

A welder was killed in Sylmar on Monday when the flame he was applying to a metal tire rim caused an attached tire to explode, fire and police officials said.

The explosion separated the metal rim from the tire with such force that the steel ring decapitated the worker, shot through the roof of the welding shop and landed outside on San Fernando Road, authorities said. No other injuries were reported.
