I should have also mentioned another common reason why on inflation a tire can slip off the rim and the tube go boom. If the tire's pressure is low enough and the tire can "float about" the rim if the tires on the ground the weight will push the tire's top up out of the rim. If inflation is noy done slow and tire seating is checked a few times this lead to blow off. Andy
