Have a look at the references quoted in this thread posts 18 & 19 the definitive guides.
A/C tyres, while of similar construction to vehicle tyres, are incredibly rigid even when deflated. It needs a trained eye to spot a low pressure or deflated tyre visually, a gauge is normally required. When you throw in the typical inflation pressure of about 200psi (dependent on type) I think you find the answer.
