I wonder how those tires hold up in "the vacuum of space"
I imagine they would explode immediately, but I'm sure Hollywood is on top of it!

On Earth's surface, air pressure is 14 lbs/square inch.
In space it is 0 lbs/square inch.
Overinflate your tires by 14 pounds. Do they explode? Why would they do so in space?
