It was reference to an explosion that prompted me to investigate further.

I have been close to a burning vehicle when the tyres have popped, but, apparently, in this event one tyre was 'shot' across the road - presumably by the explosion of the adjacent tyre.

I presume that the fire was caused by overheating due to running under-inflated.

Anybody here got any stories about tyre fires?
