To be fair, truck tires are an entirely different level than most car tires. More air at much higher pressure. I did some research on what actually happens if you try to slash a tire. A car tire is only slightly risky, but a truck tire can flay your hand.

- panarky 3y agoPlease tell us more about your research. What is the safest method to vandalize car tires?
- tyingq 3y agoUnscrew the inner valve stem and it's an annoyance that doesn't create permanent damage.
- emodendroket 3y agoI suppose a more committed vandal could go on to do permanent damage after deflating the tires at reduced personal risk.
- andrewflnr 3y agoOne of the more evil variations I've heard of involves pinning a bb or pebble between the cap and valve pin, creating a slow leak that's invisible until you think to take off the cap.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agomaybe a small drill bit in the sidewall
- 00N8 3y agoNASA has actually looked into this & found the ideal method for safely vandalizing tires https://www.thedrive.com/news/nasa-built-a-tire-assault-vehicle-from-an-rc-tank-to-explode-space-shuttle-tires https://www.thedrive.com/news/nasa-built-a-tire-assault-vehi... (it's an RC robot w/ a drill, for testing how space shuttle tires perform when damaged)
- andrewflnr 3y agoThat's neat, but... at that point they must have considered just getting someone to shoot the tires with a gun at a safe distance?
