    Lookin for tire video

    Im lookin for a video where it shows how these people were inflating a tire by putting the tire on the rim, putting flammable gas in the tire, then introducing fire to the tire at which point the tire instantly inflated...its an old video but I cant seem to find it anywhere....any help out there???

    They do that sometimes to seat the tires on the rim. At least that's what they do at the 4-wheel parts around the corner to seat 35" tires and bigger.

    we do that alot at work, if we can't get a tire to bead right, we use usually flat repair cleaner soffens up the bead for a second and when you appaly air preasure to it the flame goes out...

    they did that on all 4 of my tires when installed. I had really stiff sidewalls that had been in storage too long, so they lit it up to flex the rubber into the correct shape again

    Excuse me if this is obvious to some, but I don't quite understand the flammable gas + fire part. I would have thought it'd be hazardous. Why is there no damage to the tire, like over inflation or an explosion?
