Yep, saw that coming, though honestly I didn't expect them to be off the ground when it happened.

That's about as well as that could possibly have gone given the circumstances.

I was expecting him to stay straddling the tire when he ignited it and him either going up in flames or blowing off the rim and slamming him around. I did see the flaming tire go rolling down the hill before hand though.

Could have been, there's a bunch of ways idiots can unseat their tyres though.

And that trick works, just generally not with tyres that aren't huge 4WD tyres.

You usually use starting fluid to do it too instead of gas so the fireball doesn't just keep going after it pops the tire into place.

I used brake cleaner once. Non-chlorinated at least, and it was to mount truck tires not 225's on a 9" rim.
I got it on the first try, but it was still terrible car stuff though. The terribl-er car stuff was the tire shop that couldn't mount 255's on an 8" Enkei RT6 and completely hosed up one of my wheels trying.

Please don't do the fire trick to seat tyres, there are safer alternatives.

Well as of late last year apparently 'oval office' is no longer classed as vulgar language by the courts.

I'd argue the wheels are actually expensive and worth "fixing"
