Static pressure to burst a tyre in good condition! A lot. A lot more than the maximum inflation pressure of the tyre. If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say in the region of 35 Bar (over 500 PSI).

I was getting some eagers fitted many moons ago that they had to take up near 100psi to get 1 of them to bead even after using some super slippry stuff they had, the guys come back to me and said look we can't get it to bead, we can try some more pressure but its on you if it explodes, I wanted it on the rim so I said yeah, they threw it in the truck cage and used the truck air line, made an almighty bang when it beaded.

depends on how much smoke is comin off them at the time i find.
I know someone who put over 70 psiinto their standard tires and was driving on them. They then complained it only went to 70 and it said it needed 200 and something. Stupid garage with an old gauge with only pounds on it.

Happens a bit. Guy my dad sold a tyre killed himself and OSH tried to nab him. He went to 100psi or so to seat the ford rim knurled bead, my dad told the guy not to do that and well he killed himself doing it. Anyway OSH went nuts saying there should be more warnings and this was gunna be on my dad blah blah so my dad took them to a tyre he sells and pointed to the big DO NOT INFLATE OVER 40PSI that is on all his tyres. They dropped it after that.
Lesson in that is read the instructions and don't be dumb.
