    The pressure from an exhaust pipe is <0.17 bar or 2.5 PSI.

    My car tires have to be pressurized to 2.3 bar or 33 PSI.

    So what happens is you get a flat tire that smells funny. And if you are doing that in a garage, you’ll probably get carbon monoxide poisoning.

      Factor error: 33psi is about a typical car tire pressure. Race bicycles are like 120. Please keep 330 away from rubber

        Looks like google helpfully stripped away the “.” in 2.3 bar because my locale wants me to use a “,” instead.

        2.3 bar != 330 psi

        But the point still stands. 0.17 bar / 2.5 PSI is not enough to inflate a tire.
