Isn't ether highly explosive? Hasn't using ether in tires caused some

Yes it is but when you are in the middle of nowhere and the bead is
broken from the rim a small shot of ether into tire through bead and the
application of a match will seat the bead and inflate the tire enough to
get you to a better place. Just my $.02.


Emphasis on "small shot". Car or truck tire needs just a little either
or starting fluid.

He could have seated the tire with just the air inflater only.

The ether must have induced a coma in these guys.
