You say 12 to 15 psi won't hurt anything. First read a few of the posts above. It takes volume as well as pressure to cause damage. About a month ago I heard what sounded like dynamite going off. It was a wheelbarrow tire! I used to work in an oil field tank shop. Most of the tanks got tested with 1 1/2 to 2 psi. When you opened the valve to let the air out, you would think there was 120 psi coming out of the 3/4 or 1 inch valve. It made a lot of noise and was a pretty strong wind force if you walked in front of it. One time one of the test plugs blew out because it wasn't tightened enough. It's an expanding rubber ring that's tightened with a wing nut. I was welding fittings on the side of a 400 barrel tank on the other side of the shop and the plug flew across the shop and shook the tank I was on and missed me by about 6 feet. Five minutes later I had to come off the tank that was on rollers. If the plug would have blown out then it would have blew me off the tank. If I was driving a tractor on the road, I'd want good tires but it all depends on how good you are at fixing it if it blows or how much hassle it would be. Dave
