Watch this tire safety video!

Guys,

Gordon from Scotland shared this with another group, and I thought people here should see it.

Yes, I have heated MANY lug nuts on inflated tires, and lived to tell the tale. But having seen this video I may never do it again!

The scariest tidbit was the world record for the length of time between heat and explosion was 22 hours! That was on a large offroad tire, but still something to think about.
