Common method for baloon tires..... starter fluid and a lighter ....... method has been used for years

My borther-in-law does that with the tires on his semi.

That method scares me. A while back, I ran into a write-up on using a ratcheting nylon strap to squeeze the tire enough to seat the bead - It works like perfectly and you get to keep your eyebrows.

Are you serious? This is too gangster.

The video's been removed, but I am sure it is the same method I've seen used numerous times on the trail with Jeeps. Sure, it's not the safest thing to do; but you do whatever it takes to get you home!

[Shroomster]

what happened in the video?

what is it physics or chemistry?


pour some HIGHLY flammable liquid into a tire throw a match it will 'explode' pulling all available oxygen for burning into the tire thusly causing a vacuum effect all this happening in milliseconds and causing the tire to seat itself from the force....
