What is this "tire detachment" of which you speak? Tubeless tires run some risk
of such a thing, but tubes will pinch flat long before anything like that
happens.


He might mean casing roll, which isn't detachment exactly, but can
detach rider from bike.

If you want to know what that is, put 60mm tire on a 19mm wide rim,
inflate to 25 psi and go searching for maximum lean angle.
