    New episode of Mythbusters with a T/A on 04/29

    Just saw a preview for the next episode of Mythbusters coming up next week on Wednesday the 29th. Saw a green T/A doing a burnout and autocrossing. The myth is if a tire can catch on fire from a burnout or something like that I'm sure I got it wrong, but regardless a T/A doing burnouts and etc .

    It looks like a 98-02 just because I think it had honeycomb tail lights.

    I've seen tires catch fire during a burnout...it was on a motorcycle, not a car...not sure if that makes a difference

    Never seen a tire catch fire. We used to throw donuts on our cars and burn them till they blew and no fire.
