Actually, no tire should be inflated unless it is secured. If the tire blows off a safety rim it will fly up and hit you in the head.

For snap ring tires, the unit should be wrapped with a safety chain or cargo strap. It should be inflated facing a wall using a known good tire pressure gauge and rubber valve stem extender as used on trucks.

After leaning against the wall for half an hour it should allowed to fall onto a blanket snap ring side down and left to sit. Preferably over night.

I have seen snap rings fly across the room without warning and smash into cars. But not on Packards.
