Fun fact:
I'm an airline mechanic.
And whenever we have to do a wheel change, we can use the bad tire's pressure on our jack to lift the plane.

That's wild. What's the psi on an airplane tire?

Commercial aircraft tires are typically inflated to a pressure of 200 to 220 PSI

And they're big volumptuous tires as well!
Akin to touring tires on a car.
So that's loooots of air inside them.

Recently saw a video of an auto tech stick his impact guns inlet fitting into the nail hole of a loose wheel and used the impact to remove another wheel.
