Can`t hurt you till you fill it, just make sure the rim & ring are not damaged or severely rusted. Wrap chains around the tire & wheel (through the openings, all 4 sides. Put in 10 lbs using a clip on chuck, then tap it around making sure it is centred. I lube it well too so it sets the bead easy,, soft soap works & fillit 50 feet away by the compressor guage. I did some with no prscautions about 55 years ago when I was 12 for my impatient big brother, never had a problem but maybe God was with me then. If everything was in good condition I would bet it would be less than one in a million but don`try it without the chains. I am beting some of the misshaps were because things wernt matched
Anyone here ever had one blow when all parts were correct for size, wear etc??
