Dumb, though it may be; tire manufacturers and dealers love it.

Kind of cool in a Mad Max sort of way. I wonder if they got it in the Guiness Book?

Is it me or is this just plain dumb!
I don't know, are you one of them?

Well I am not saying that I would have partaken in the event, but what world records did you break this week?

What better way to finish off a tire that is due for a change anyway?
Heck, when the situation is right, I'll scrub off a few hundred miles of a good tire....

Dumb as far as I can see. If you want to do it OK, but not me.
If I take 100 old tires and put them in a pile, and set them on fire, that's illegal burning and I can get fined or jailed for the environmental damage. But if 100 squids burn them off in a "record attempt", that's OK?? Strange.

Car tire might work well in that event...

Asinine is what I'd call it.

I used to see tire destruction contests at harley type biker rallys, and never could make sense of the facination. I understand heating up a tire before a drag race, but why heat one for nothing? There is nothing about that whole event that excites me in at any level. I do believe in American style freedom, so let them spend their hard earned money on silly wasteful activities.

Yeah, its silly, but its also winter and things like this are posted at this time of year, and this is America where we do things because we can. At the local bike night joint, they installed a "burn-out" trap. Its a device that clamps onto your front tire while the rear tire sits on a concrete pad, straps are attatched to your bike to keep it upright and tied down. Guys would ride up, hook up, and burn out, filling the whole parking lot with dense white smoke and very loud exhaust noise, a few would run the tires till they blew, a few were suprised at that, not sure if they knew that doing this would blow your tire up. When my tires are going to be replaced, we always do a burn out and take a pic, we got a few good ones going back to the early 80's.

You guys and gals should appreciate this video then. This happened at a local bike night/burnout competition here locally a couple of years back.

Note the guy trying to put out the flames with his beer...
