Some sort of variation on the question comes up a couple to times a
year here. The answer is usually that no, the maximum pressure
differential is about 15 psi, which is trivial for a tire.

Sorry, but the tires on a Citation are inflated to 120 +/- PSI on the
nose
wheel and 98 PSI on the mains. They are filled with dry nitrogen.

Yes, and at sea level it's pushing against 15 psi, and in vacuum they're
pushing against nothing, which means the maximum pressure differential
between ground and cruise is 15 psi.

I believe he's talking about the differential between the air in the tires
and the outside air.
