I wonder if the wheels will catch on fire when he "lights" them up.

Yeah, but balancing would only require a couple of nails - or a little chisel work, if you're careful. Better than run-flats, these while offering the same ride quality, will never go flat - although you might have to treat them for termites every few years.

You can burn regular tyres you know. They *are* rubber. That's what that CNET guy did to keep him and his family warm when they got lost and trapped.
