This video tests the bullet resistance of a loader tire by firing various calibers at it. It demonstrates how different rounds, from .22 LR to 5.56x45mm NATO, interact with the tire, noting penetration, ricochets, and exit wounds. The experiment highlights the tire's surprising ability to stop smaller rounds while being significantly penetrated by larger ones.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring subject matter expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Kevlar-lined Humvee tires. The experiment demonstrates that while these tires are highly durable against common debris and smaller caliber rounds, they are ultimately penetrated by common defensive handgun calibers and rifle rounds, leading to rapid air loss. The testing provides practical insights into the limitations of such heavy-duty tires against direct ballistic threats.
