Sobering reading of that 2008 LJ60 report indeed!
5% loss of pressure per day means your tyres/tires are going to be out of specification very quickly, especially in these times of covid reduced flying times.
Pressure checks to be done whether operating under part 91, 121 or 135.
One blown tyre/tire makes the other one out of specification. Any sideways forces will add to the strain on the sidewall.

Appears to be lots of cheese holes in near alignment in normal operations.

Will be interesting to see the background causes of this incident.
