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.

Apparently, another "sorry" would be in order. What he's saying is that
the
difference between sea level and outer space is only around 15psi, which
is
PROBABLY an almost insignificant fraction of the pressure usually existing
inside a properly inflated tire.

I suppose that he could be saying THAT! I figured he was addressing the
outside/inside air pressure.
