When I inherited my tractor I also received a pressure gauge to check the water filled rear tires. A couple of weeks ago I had a rear tire blowout. It sounded like a gun went off in my ear. The the ambient temperature was a little over 100, I hit a bump and boom the tire went with an 8 inch gash in the side wall. Long story short, I thought that I was putting 20 PSI in the tire COLD. Upon checking against a know good gauge my gauge did not even budge until over 30psi. I measured the temperature of the tire in the sun it was 160 degrees. So with the water filled tire, excess air pressure, and extreme heat the tire gave way. I have replaced both rear tires (air only now).
The moral of this is don't trust old gauges, check their accuracy or replace them.
