Is there any way to blow up a car wheel on purpose?

    I'm trying to recreate some accidents in the middle of races or traffic just for fun and cool pictures, but I just know how to deflate a tyre, not explode one. Could anybody help?

    deleted, im dumb

    What exactly do you mean by „explode”? I don’t think there’s necessarily an option to do that.
    If Ctrl+Shift+H doesn’t do enough, then idk what could be an alternative.

    You know which one does the function?

    I mean "explode" by not just deflating the tire, making the tire blow up, the deflating bind is not very proper by what I want to do rn.

    maybe increasing the pressure and causing over-inflation can make a difference and pop the tire

    just did it and nothing, increased the pressure to 50 psi both front and rear wheels and it appears to have no difference, I even tried to deflate it with the pressure but nothing works, :(

    I just did some experimenting.

    The very base model Bruckell Bastion's tires will explode at around 500mph.
    Chunks will fly off and they will cease to exist.
    Doesn't matter whether the tires start out completely deflated 0psi or max inflated 50psi.
    A very loud noise, but it's hard to tell where the noise is coming from because at the same time the drive shaft and other components of the car break.

    Using the node grabber at 100% strength, you can pick chunks out of a tire. It will make a slight 'hiss' sound and deflate.

    So maybe to make a tire 'explode', you have to make it think it's going 500mph, or figure out a way to break all of the beams in a tire all at once by real time editing of the jbeam data.

    Either way, it will probably not make a loud popping sound like irl unless you figure out a way to edit the sound data as well.

    IRL I once blew out a tire on a freeway while going 80mph. Hit a square piece of metal that had sharp edges. There was a loud POP sound and instant deflation, but the tire maintained its integrity and didn't 'explode'. That allowed me to lower my speed and get off the freeway safely. They were fairly new sports tires and I wasn't using any kind of inert gas to inflate them.

    Happy hunting...

    Yo, just got home, thx for the advice, the thing of exploding I'm saying it's basically the pop sound that I thought it were at the game at first considering it's pretty realistic sometimes compared to real life, but I don't think I will be able to do such a thing as changing the files of the game,

    I may break it or something, I'm not good at these things, but I can figure a way out of doing it.

    Maybe figuring out what to do with the jbeam data and the tyre files can help me to reach the objective I want, thx for helping me, but I think I'm pretty far, but a huge step was made.
