    The pressure from an exhaust pipe is <0.17 bar or 2.5 PSI.

    My car tires have to be pressurized to 2.3 bar or 33 PSI.

    So what happens is you get a flat tire that smells funny. And if you are doing that in a garage, you’ll probably get carbon monoxide poisoning.

    The exhaust won’t work, but included with my grandpa’s 1952 8n ford tractor came with an adaptor that you would replace a spark plug on one cylinder, and then pump up a tire using the unburned air fuel mixture into the tire, and running the enigne on the other 3 cylinders.

    So the idea is very close to something that was actually done in the real world.
