Hmmm... interesting.

 

Indeed.

 

awesome

 

for a second their i almost thought it was a Darwin award video

 

only the total opposite of that

 

This is an old trick.

 

Saw this on Top Gear, the polar special.....

 

old trick. Ive done that on my 4 wheeler before too. Works better with starter fluid

 

Very common trick in the off road community. This has been done for YEARS.

 

That was cool! I've never seen that before.

 

does that work for any tire?

 

It certainly does. Basically anything flammable will work. What it is doing is exploding inside the tire to seat the bead. Basically, if you ever get stuck with a tire at a bottom of a stack that's smushed, you would have to use this technique to get it to seat. Imagine a little 175/60R14 tire. You let those sit long enough in a stack, and it will sit 4 inches tall. Try mounting that on a 7 inch rim or whatever it's going on.

This is done a lot in the tire industry. You can tell they're nowhere near compressed air, so this would be the best method. Just spray a ton of flammable fluids in there, light it and it will explode the beads to the rim. It's just like using compress air, except a lot stronger.

I would advise against fixaflat though; the chemicals used in fixaflats ruin rubber if you guys ever plan on fixing a flat that way. Just put on the spare.

 

I've done this more times then I can count

 

badass

 

I've done that on a stubborn moto tyre before. I used brake clean though. Any highly flammable spray will do actually, just don't get crazy with spraying a shit ton in there.

 

whoa. never seen that b4

 

That's pretty cool. Never seen that before.
