  • tyres catching fire is a common thing to see at summernats in australia , i call this a myth fail lol

  • pussys come to austrlaia and then you will shit bricks!

  • thumbs up if you had that shitty car ad

  • THEY PINCH BACK

  • 2:16 mins ill never get back :D:D:D

  • All they need is a dewar full of LOX-spray LOX at the spinning tire, that'll light 'er up!

  • so what's the point of all these vidoes??

  • they sux, tyre's ignite look up burn out ar's such as "uc smoke" he light's tyre's nearly every burn out comp his in, maybe you just need a true Ausie car to do this one

  • back to the future  HELL YEAH

  • fuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!

  • they use bleach to make this effect

    \

  • LOL@ COMMERCIAL CHANNELS NEVER RESPONDING TO THEIR VIEWERS...

  • ucsmoke

  • just type in summernats and u will see fire they usually soak the tires in diesel first!!!!!

  • go to UCSMOKE thats what u call a burnout

  • got to the end and was like "wait what?" i thought they would have at least put one test up

  • it's possible, I've seen a truck do that at a burnout show. But they need more weight than that trans am. more weight = more friction = more heat

  • Here is the answer...

    watch?v=HXUkUmS5cN0

  • who know what is the glasses use Jamie Hyneman in the 1:50 to the end ???

    Please !!!!!

  • watch?v=mG9-Igb5u9Y

    take this guys

  • youtube poop, where the smoke may pinch back...

  • THEY SAY IT IS A YOUTUBE SPECIAL YET THEY DOn'T AIR IT ON YOUTUBE!!!???!!!???

  • @FlyingWhaleHarooooo Spoiler alert!!! It doesnt catch on fire until AFTER they stopped spinning the tires. makes a LOT of smoke tho!!! lol but it doesnt really work out. and there wasn't that much fire either. 

  • @FlyingWhaleHarooooo

    They mean that they test myths found in youtube videos

  • @MrMariofan7II I know... but still.

  • @FlyingWhaleHarooooo It's a Youtube special. They take videos FROM Youtube and test the myths. I can't believe you got so many thumbs up, are people really that stupid....

  • @252Dazz252 They aren't stupid, they just didn't know, spare the trolling plz.

  • @252Dazz252 I understood that they took the myths from youtube.... But I assumed they would show the results on here too.

  • Comment removed

  • @mcshithead2007 I knew exactly what he meant that's why i commented. Just because they use videos from Youtube doesn't mean they should air it on Youtube at all.

  • @FlyingWhaleHarooooo It's youtube myths not for youtube...

  • @FlyingWhaleHarooooo obviously discovery CHANLE isnt going to air a TELEVISION SHOW on the internet. Intelligence FAIL. You and all the 77 people who agree with you are dumb...sorry.

  • @Iwantedtoknow16802 I fully understand the concept of what they did. There's no need to insult my intelligence. Also there's no reason why they wouldn't air it here... I'm just going by principle that it SHOULD be here... being a YOUTUBE special and all...

  • is that a fir engine or a elephant

  • EPIC FAIL my last burnout caught fire or was the fire crew putting out orange paint pfff it does happen ive done it

  • they tested this just because it was easy to test

  • The rig was all wrong.... they only needed an empty parking lot and to give me the keys

  • i wanna see the whole video!!

  • IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE VID THEN THUMBS DOWN THE VID!!!!

  • D:

  • Ofcourse they dont show it, they want you to watch it on the teeveeee, and pay for the extra channels and what not x) if u wanna see the episodes, download em or something or...buy the channel xd

  • At 0:30

    "DEAR MYTHBUSTERS"

    If it's the start of the video why is it already like 6:00 in?

  • adam's hair looks so funny lol

  • THIS IS SO RETARDED !!!!!!!

  • WASTE OF MY TIME!!!!

  • Gayass ads by google terds

  • @imaterminator What ads?

  • this is fucken gay they didnt even show it fuck you peopleeeeeeeeeeee

  • I thought this was spinning THE fire lol

  • one its so fail because i saw on the laptop how a video was moving with the pause on.

  • waste of fucking time.

  • wtf this shit pisses me off!! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU MAKE A VIDEO AND NOT SHOW THE END!!!!!! I hope the assholes which put this shit up will see my comment along with others and rethink on their retarded methods

  • Mythbusters FAILED on this one. There are firey burnouts FOR SURE, why didn't they just TRY SEARCHING YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 0:01 SKip commercial

  • YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY WHERE THERES SMOKE...

  • Mythbusters FAIL. I've watched it happen more than once.

  • @nothing40 Where do they say it DOESN'T happen?.

    Nothing40; FAIL.

  • @xxmrbloodxx They say it in the episode r-tard. Jamie says "hurr, the wind coming off the tire would put out the fire"- fucking WRRRONG!!!!!!!!

  • @irocz0r And? Try reading my comment first?

  • @xxmrbloodxx I did. You purported that Mythbusters did not state it never happens. However, in the episode, they say it is impossible. It is not impossible if you are using an accelerant, there are dozens of videos on YouTube of it.

  • @irocz0r But this video isn't the full episode, therefore you can't depict on what there true opinions on the matter are. I have seen a car set there tires on fire by doing a burnout. i've seen loads, i'm just saying that not once in the video did they say. "it is impossible".

  • @xxmrbloodxx Dhurrr, maybe you should try reading MY comment first. I said "IN THE EPISODE". THE FULL EPISODE. Which you can readily find on YouTube. Jamie claims a flaming burnout of ANY KIND (including using an accelerant like gasoline that is lit on fire) is IMPOSSIBLE because "the wind coming off the spinning tire would put out the flame". W.R.O.N.G.

  • @irocz0r And? IM TALKING ABOUT THIS CLIP, nowhere in this CLIP did he say it, so for the last fucking time, read my damn comment. KthxBAI.

  • @xxmrbloodxx How is it my fucking problem you're too goddamn stupid to find the whole video? Anybody with half a brain can find it. Just because it wasn't said in this particular clip doesn't mean it wasn't said. Ignorance is NOT an excuse. It's completely laughable that you're actually trying to make that excuse. "Hurr, he didn't say it was impossible in this clip, so he didn't say it!". It sounds a lot like "hurr, I didn't see that stop sign officer", or, "I didn't know she was my cousin".

  • @irocz0r Sorry what? If you stopped butting in before reading MY comment, and reading the persons COMMENT that i REPLIED to, you might get it into your arrogant self centered skull, The person said that "IN THIS CLIP" he said it was impossible, i said "no he didn't", and you being the arrogant fuck tard you are misinterpreted trying to be a smart ass and jumped to conclusions like the halfwitt you are, it's not being arrogant, you're undermining you're own argument here smart ass.

  • Comment removed

  • @irocz0r cool story bro

  • @nothing40 you probably saw the tire wear out and the metallic rim sparked.

  • @BumbleBeeGS It was certainly not the rim,it was FLAMES,not sparks.

    My buddy had it on video,until his camera got stolen.

  • Why waste your time complaining about Discovery's cock teasing videos when you can watch the show for free on TV, and on gazillion other webistes.

  • Busted ><

  • Still if there's so much of smoke it could just not ignite, cause of lack of oxygen.. you should have tried adding oxygen too.

  • Discovery, after watching this, I am off to find the rest of this segment, which I will likely find. You should put PREVIEW in the title on clips like this. As you can see, over half the people that have rated this video, hate you for... precisely what is spoken about above. How do I know? Because I'm one of the 584 dislikes.

  • flagged and unsub! LOL

  • I tell you a thing discovery. Dont think that teasing will get you more watchers. THAT WILL JUST GET US PISSED OFF!!!

    FUCK YOU!!! FUCK YOU TO HELL!!!!!

  • pause at 58 seconds and look at adams face

  • DEAR DISCOVERY CHANNEL. PLEASE PARTNER GOOGLE ON YOUTUBE AND POST US FULL VIDEOS. FOOL.

  • Its Busted Ive seen this one b4 :)

  • Wonder how much they want for that sweet ass trans am? I got one and I need a parts car.

  • ghe full video is on youtube.

  • They are wrong. I have done this with a motorcycle and the rear tire on the inside certainly caught fire.'They used soft old tires and too much weight. Yiu need to minimize the amount of rubber coming off so that it stays on and remains hot.'These guys are so uneducated. They play with crap and try to act like scientists. They are in the same league as the idiot who built the spaceship for 'Ballon Boy'...

  • @RealityCheck86 Dude. You're an idiot. They said "Don't try this at home" and guess what you did? You tried it. Congratz.

  • @wafflepiepancake Thanks. YOU are the idiot, idiot.

    I tried this at home 10 years ago on a motorcycle and it will catch on fire.

    These loons don't understand the basics of thermodynamics. They used a car in 1st gear reviing at 4K RPM, (figure out the speed at the ground), had too much weight, and just wasted the rubber.

    Friction/heat is caused by force AND SPEED of the tire. A bike tire with the engine rev'd at 9K RPM and the rear wheel at an equivalent of 90mph will catch on Fire.

    Congrats.

  • @RealityCheck86 Someone doesn't understand sense of humor. Now plz stop replying; we don't want to start a flame war/argument. Jkz, srry.

  • @RealityCheck86

    "force AND SPEED"

    "speed"?

    Relative to what?

    The ground?

    What does that have to do with anything? Or are you talking about air friction?

    And what does The Force have to do with anything?!?!

  • "It seems we have entered into a mystical land!"

  • GAH !!! FUCKK!!!!

  • FUCK OFF!!!....wtf?!?! man,i want to see some damn fire!!!

  • Just thumb it down if you think that was total bullshit.

  • does anybody else think jamie looks like a walrus?

  • @wolfboy97 yes. :3

  • fucking pile of wank

  • Fuck you

  • Waste of over 2 minutes. Either post the complete video or get off youtube. Good thing I already know you can make a tire fire as I have done it myself with bleach.

  • HEY DISCOVERY! WE CANT DISCOVER IF YOU CUT OFF THE CLIMAX. >:O

    More like Failcovery

  • motherfuckers...2:06 bk

  • would it be wrong if some 1 flagged this

  • FUCK YOU

  • fuck!

  • FUCK U

  • watch burn out competition videos. u'll see some fire

  • fuck you discovery channel, either show the full video or get the fuck off of youtube

  • they where so wrong watch?v=fxSUSHPa5tc

  • what the hell the damn video cut off before you get to watch it

  • LOOK MYTHBUSTERS IS -=-W R O N G-=-

    /watch?v=vadJlQE6VxA

  • Looks like my video over here

    /watch?v=vadJlQE6VxA

  • show the results damn you if you want people to watch then show results aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bastards

  • wtf

  • arrrrrrrrrgh, remove this video.

  • just for this vid

    I WILL NOT SUB TO U HA!

  • ...... the tire just gets too hot and it shreds its called a blow out

  • @deathrift it is possible though, i have seen it done. i was at a burnout competition where one feller was running a 69 boss 429 running on alcohol, nitrous injection, 40lbs of boost, and pretty well every major mod imaginable, pushing over 1700 ft-lbs of torque with about 18" tall tires. he threw smoke straight back about 30 feet and eventually caught the drivers side tire on fire.

  • theres no point in posting this video if you not gona post the whole thing

  • ...fail.

  • omg same as the last video.

    SHOW THE WHOLE FUCKING VIDEO

    ONE STAR

  • @MiharuSarano -5 stars would be better

  • @MiharuSarano they dont read comments or reply to them because this is DISCOVERY NETWORK

  • @MiharuSarano NO STAR

  • @MiharuSarano IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE VID THEN THUMBS DOWN THE VID!!!!

  • there was once i watched this vid of a truck doing a burnout and the tires GLOWED red hot. now that video they MB should watch

  • Thing is truck tyers are much, much thicker than your avarage car slicks.

  • i like mythbuster sooo much, it like my fkn favourite one

  • I have set fire to a Forktruck tyre, (non pneumatic) by driving up to a wall so it cannot go forward and floor it. maybe they should try this.

  • i tried the same thing but all i got was smoke - the tire was ground down so bad that the forklift drove on an angle

  • hahaha fail when there watching the video the "video" is paused.oops!

  • i have a good myth is it possible to make termite bullets

  • termite, or thermite?

  • thermite

  • haha thats almost an exact copy of my car

  • lol my bros gf has tht car

    what year is the car

  • nvm XD

  • its hacked

  • wtf??? how could anybody give this more than 1 star???

  • Spoiler: This is just the lead into a test. Nothing worth seeing.

  • that's stupid i wanted to see some fire waste of time

  • if you watched it here then who would have watched the discovery channel on t.v

  • well we watched an ad before we could see this video, so why not see the whole video?

  • on some cars with f1 carbon ceramic brakes the brake discs heat up so much that they glow so if you were to spin the tires and then jam the brakes on then start spinning them and in thoery the radient heat from the brake discs should set the tires on fire its cheating according to the myth but hey it might work

  • I've seen it happen with a HMMWV (military) while performing a RO/RO operation with equipment coming back from use overseas. Almost caused the crew to hit the button and douse the entire ship with foam. It's not how fast they spin it's how long they've been spinning. But I guess that would also depend on the quality of the tire, most would pop before they caught fire.

  • whats a ro/ro operation?

  • @SezFromMalygos roll-on/roll-off

  • i dont think its really the tire that catches fire its the brakes then the tire catches fire after

    they gotta redo it and hold the brakes on the n they should get the reaction they want

    most people just set the tire on fire cuz it easier and faster

  • yes a tire can light on fire doing a brake stand iv see it done ones with a muddin truck and ones with a drag car u need more power and meaty tires not sum thin tires i want to see this redone with a big truck and sum muddin tires or a car with more power and sum 10 inch wide tires till then thay cant call it bust stock tires wont cut it

  • Comment removed

  • all the motorcycle tires i have seen on fire were set on fire not spontaneous

  • ive seen it done twice now

  • is that a 96 camaro?

  • thats a firebird not a camaro

  • @paseo1997 but they're not so different

  • from the vid i can see why the tire did not burn but on larger tires like on trucks (19.5 or larger) the rear will burn from just driving down the road if one of the duels are low.

  • it would have to reach the spontanious combution

    tempurature of rubber.

  • I have seen multiple bikes catch tires on fire without being worn to the belts. It goes out when they stop spinning it though.

  • I never got fire on my R6's wheels...I guess the compound can affect as well?

  • no they uses fire to burn the tire... when the tire is spinning... they uses gasoline or torches

  • Fuck you dicovery channle you had to end it

  • dude its comming back on the 7th

  • you burn a tire down to the steel belts, and it can happen. it isnt real common

  • usualy happens when unburnt fuel leaves the car with the exhaust fumes and is ignited by the wire in the tire sparking on the ground as the tire is spinning :D

  • it can happen. i know cuz i did it . with my chevy

  • Tires can, in fact, catch fire. Rubber will burn at a certain temperature, and many times they have due to the friction of a burnout... This isn't some "super powerful car", it's a Trans Am, with only one wheel spinning with a posi-trac rear end, which means that tire is spinning slower than the other side. If they had a locker or a spool, they would remove that issue, but still don't have enough power to turn the tire fast enough to get that heat. Not only that, but racing slicks do it best.

  • you should email them that.

  • wtf is this shit why fucking does it just stop and not show the results FFFFUUUU
