Yea normally I would use a match and toss it at the edge of the tire. But that is normal he might of used a little to much fluid but more fluid it is more fun lol

Can someone please elaborate a bit on what is being done here? This looks like a fun trick that I need to learn!!!

Much like what is going on inside the combustion chamber of an engine.

Anyone know about what kind of pressure this puts into a tire?
If it was over say 160 psi, then it really could be dangerous in that the tire could come apart. If it's under like 80, then the only risks are pinching a finger or loosing your eyebrows for a few weeks.

Done this on ATV and tractor tires. It works better when you use a torch.

Goes to like 60 psi max is what I have seen on bigger tires. Pull the valve steam and then get back to wheeling.

yes it will but it might take a few tries. Starter fluid is the best.
