you can just unscrew the valve stem cap, drop a bb sized pebble in the cap, screw the cap back on and walk away when you hear it start hissing. No tools needed, takes 10 seconds and you haven’t done any property damage.
truck tires especially can have high enough PSI to mess you up if you just go ripping valve stems out while inflated and under load so that really shouldn’t be a recommendation. nobody wants their hand surprised degloved.
That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
you can’t assess the psi accurately through guessing like that. An idiot who overinflated his tires coupled with a heavy load in the back can absolutely make a tire like that dangerous on sudden decompression.
Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.
You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.
of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.

Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s in the for destroying your rims and tire
