Hey guys I seen the show where you were using a car to try and catch the tire on fire while doing a burnout.Here's the issue i've found with it.I have actually seen it happen in person.Here's the difference,you guys used radial tires.The cars i seen do it were race cars with soft rubber drag slicks.It gave them the ability to get the tires very hot and they do not blow apart due to the soft rubber compound and having a tube inside.Check it out and let me know what you find.Here is the link to one i found online. tires on fire
