    In all honesty, this is a technique that works. It won’t inflate the tire properly, it’s intended for situations like getting tires fitted to tractor rims, and it doesn’t use gasoline or oil. The main problems were the fact that they used oil, and a whole quart of it at that

      There must have been something more than just oil in whatever he dumped in there.

    Let’s look at the positives here. They now have a QUICK method to remove a tire from a rim. Shit, they can even do it while the wheel is still on the vehicle/trailer. Great life hack, and under five minutes at that!

    I saw this attempted in person once, actually mounted the tire, it just deflated again a few miles after we put it back on.

    On a second look I wonder if the explosion was intentional, considering the fuse.

      This is for mounting the tyre only; this method burns whatever’s inside the tyre so it actually creates negative tyre pressure, therefore, you gotta inflate it afterwards

        We did in fact do that.

      Ricky, that’s just fucked. It’s never going to work.

    I’ve seen professionals doing that correctly live. I don’t know how it’s done, but it’s not like that

    It actually does work, done it with atv tires before and ether, they clearly used way too much lol
