Wish i had a dollar for every time had to had to set a bead like that on a semi tire! I caught myself on fire doing it too...that convinced the old man to buy a cheetah
Nice job. Just remember that lighter fluid is still in there, so be careful taking the tire off. If you take it to a shop to get tire work done, you have to tell them because that could get bad.
i've never thought of using charcoal ligher fluid... dont forget boys and girls, when you do this at home, its the kicking that feeds the slower burning fuel enough air to cause the violent expantion to seat the bead. DO NOT kick if you are using starting fluid, you want to get the hell back with that stuff. Also, its best to kick it, not stomp because you could get a toe in there and that could smart a bit
yeah, that's some cool shit, i haven't messed with it since i got an air compressor but its a great way to impress friends and loved ones in a pinch for sure, you can use hair spray and pam and all sorts of stuff, I wonder if the lighter fluid will eat the rubber tho
I've never had a problem changing tires on rims with just putting air in them, I've never had to do anything like this to get them to take air or hold air... The tire usually pops twice when I hook it up to my air compressor, but that's it.
the problem is i don't own a air compressor because i don't i can't get that burst of air that sets the bead lock. so fire works good for me.. and those are used tires and rims some one dumped in the woods lol
It was the Top Gear Polar Special. So it wasn't *actually* an episode of one of their seasons. You're familiar with torrents, drop me a PM or an eMail and I can hook you up with the link. Its as big as a normal episode I believe. 800MB or so.
agreed! My pop taught me that technique when I was 13 years old, ether will get it first time everytime, spray it all the way around the tire (inside) and run a trail out a safe distance(to keep from being decapitated by a flying tire) it works perfectly!
The old car starting fliud works better , or old bbq starting fluid . if you can find anything from back in the 70's - 80's , you just have to use a little bit.
Another good one Buddy!

looking back at this one, this looks alittle off!!, the unburned lighter fluid will probably rot the tire but dont know how long it would take

drill a hole in the tire and install a spark plug, then air the tire up to 100 PSI using propane gas, and ignite the spark plug.

the trick is to catch the stream of gas coming out of the can on fire and point it at the tire it works better that way

I have seen tires fly up about 12 feet or more. you probably should not have your head over the tire while refueling, you might loose it

There's nothing like the old stuff. It use to blow the tire up in the air ,and if you used to much,,,,,, look out!!!!
