This guy sticks a GoPro camera to the inside of his wheel and puts balance beads inside the tire.  He then drives it down the road and shows the video inside the tire.
While I realized that the sidewall flexed during motion, I had NO IDEA that it flexed THAT much.
No wonder an underinflated tire will heat up and explode.
Enjoy.

Nice video. But, I guess he didn't hear that the wheel has to be on a live axle for the beads to work properly, which is why the balance was kind of poor on the machine. Once on the truck, everything worked as advertised.
