I can't answer your question if that is a big tire or not. But I can say that it doesn't take a big tire to hurt a person. I'm speaking from experience.
I was at work one day and grabbed a fork lift tire off the rack. It was on an 8" diameter rim where the two halves of the rim bolted together. I checked the air pressure in this tire an it was below 30 psi. When I put the air chuck on it and began to air it up it exploded. The repair person who bolted the two rim halves together stripped the threads on 7 out of the 8 bolts. The rim hinged up and hit me in the knee just below my knee cap. It threw me 6 feet and when I woke up my leg hurt and I reached down to see if I still had my leg since I realized what happened. Luckily I only received 9 stitches and a real sore knee. So now I tell everyone that tires are bombs just waiting to go off. Have to be careful of tires that have been run half flat or flat. This causes the sidewall wires to break down. When you air them up the develop zipper cracks and they too can kill.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
