    You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.

    Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.

      Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled

      If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s on you for destroying your rims and tire

        An under inflated/flat tire can absolutely spontaneously come apart, and at the RPMs it’s spinning it for all intents and proposes “explodes”. As large pieces of rubber will fly out at speeds that can decapitate someone.

        But hey, let’s argue about the semantics instead of telling people to not kill people for petty revenge. If you can’t think for 2 seconds and come up with a way how an underinflated/flat tire could kills someone, you’re probably one of those idiots that drove with under inflated tires.

      I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.

      of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.
