Default porous hose

Can someone please tell me the proper water pressure for using the
"leaky hose" made from old tires.

Thanks in advance.

I believe they're designed for full household water pressure, which
probably is in the range 30-60 psi.

If you leave them out in the garden continuously, they do get holes
(larger than designed), probably caused by insects or rodents. You can
cut out the bad spot and splice them with regular hose splices,
available at your hardware store (around $1 apiece). At some point it's
probably cheaper to buy a new one (and re-use the splices on another hose).
