That is, quite simply, amazing! :shock:

Of course, one could no longer use that tire to grab a quick breath from after rolling their vehicle into the water in order to escape the bad guys who are still shooting at you from the riverbank. I mean, all the oxygen has been used up during the combustion process... :?

well you do have to actually put a ton of air in it after that, the fire just seats the bead, as the air cools the tire pressure drops very low, and it some cases if your not fast on getting air in the tire can pop off the rim again.

Yes. If you watch close, you can see the tire come off the bead again. Very slick if you could get it to hold!
