Win win.

Even with the strap, and the bazooka in the background,
these guys opted for the flames!

With the flame you have little if any control.



What ever could go wrong?

No mention in that article of using a flammable liquid or vapor to
seat the bead explosively.

Tyres have the potential to *create their own* flammable gas inside
the tyre. It is why those truck tyres explode and why an inert gas
(nitrogen) is used to fill them.

so this part is not true, truck tires usually blow from underinflation so
they get hot and fail,(read tire has a leak) or the carcus has a
mechanical failure. they run hot and under high load so failure is not to
be considered abnormal, but low considering the amount of total miles run
by trucks, and also retreads from the not so quality retreaders using
poor carcuses is a factor. KB


Plenty of stories about exploding tires on
split rims from improper technique which have nothing to do with
fire.

Changed plenty of them over the years - it's more about incompetent
operators than it is about the split rims.

This is why large truck tires on split rims are inflated in safety
cages.
