Did I say anything about blowing tires? No. If you were a captain who taxis you would know that by wreck I mean scuffing the center of each tire tread in the tight turn. This does not "Blow" the tire.
Blowing tires, wrecking tires, whatever. I have to wonder if you're not ssg...the banned intrepid poster who keeps coming back under another name: ssg, onepercenter, tankdriver45, and now pacplyer. Sounds like the same guy.

If you do a 90 degree turn with differential brakes and power, the corner windscreen will likely crack...

...I didn't crack a window, but our check captain did during acceptance tests. Of course this also wrecks a set of tires too, but during a war or a profitable charter who cares. The dollar margin mitigated it...

...I just know that when we pushed two up on one side and jammed the opposite brakes with full tiller the thing would turn in way less a radius than your book number and we were concerned about cracking the window and scrubbing the mission.
