Just a tad condescending there, aren't we? Answer is: YES

But it's not "low air pressure" that blows tires, is it?

Gotta' love the self-styled "experts" on the internet.

No it isn't low air pressure that causes anything. It is low air pressure that causes high tire heat that causes tire failure.

If you don't have a functioning tpms and you blow a tire, in most cases you are clueless as to the cause. Saying my tires were fine this morning or 2 hours ago are meaningless.
