Normal car tires it just deflates really really fast. You can seriously fuck yourself up going after a semi though. There's a video of a dude in China who tried that. He got blown back several feet, his arm of his jacket was in tatters, and he was bleeding like crazy.
You kinda gotta poke and make a mark and then cut horizontally. The sidewalls of the tire are easier to get through. Also stand back because the air pressure can still fuck you up a bit, especially larger car and truck tires.
I....in mincecraft....never slashed a tire except for the sidewalls and honestly its been like 30 years so iono maybe its harder now? but back then...in minecraft....30 years ago...it was nothing.
Interesting and cool to know! In Minecraft, of course. There are probably varying levels of tire quality. I imagine the quality of the knife probably helps a bit, too. I bet something sturdy like an ice pick would make it pretty easy.
In highschool i worked for a steel shop and they sent me out during a storm to unload a tractor trailer with the forklift, I hadn't dressed appropriately for the task and the rain that day was cold enough that I passed out temporarily, anyway I punctured a tractor trailer tire, while loaded full of 80,000lbs of steel bar. It exploded, I have no recollection of what happened. They found me half a mile away, collapsed on the side of the road. Truck driver saw me slumped in the seat, went to see if I was ok, tire exploded and then I jerked up, launched myself off the forklift and ran down the road.
