There is a vast and collective knowledge on the internet. However, there are little indications about who was the first one to try a trick like this. But, thanks to tutorials on the internet and the very fact that this insane idea might actually work, this mounting tire trick has been spread wide and far!
But, a lot of you may ask why would anyone actually do this? Why would someone mount tires this way, when we have tire mounting machines and air tanks that can do the job perfectly? Well someone`s typical excuse would be that he didn`t have an air tank around. However, funny enough, we can see that this video is being made at home, so we are not buying that excuse at all!
We are not recommending this mounting tire trick. However, just for fun, we are going to elaborate a bit on how this burning tire trick is done. This process consists of spraying a flammable substance between the rim and the lip of an unmounted tire. When the spraying is done, it`s lighted on fire. An explosion is caused when ignited, of course. This explosion causes the air to expand around the inside of the tire and the rim. This results in making the opening wide enough to mount the tire on the rim.
In the video below, luckily no one gets hurt. But, there are a lot of variables here that can result fatally! It can cause the vehicle to go in flames, because as we all know, fuel and fire are not really the best of friends! Also, this process usually overinflates the tires. Meaning that an explosion can happen because of too much air pressure that can most certainly kill a man!
A very dangerous burning fire trick indeed. So, don`t do this at home! It`s not worth the risk. Tell us your thoughts on this very dangerous burning fire trick and your experiences with it.
