The airline concern is silly. I've certainly 'done' the experiment--blowing
out a tire by overpressurizing (using gas-station air to fill bike tires as
a kid). They just go 'poof' and leak the small volume of air contained. A
full 32 psi overpressure is not a huge percentage overpressure for bike
tires. I also am told, that car tires can usually withstand very large
overpressures as well.
