Not a combination I'd want. I'd hate to see what would happen if you ran over a nail or screw since tires have steel belts. Check this out http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2000-27.html

BTW, Ive never heard of running butane in tires. What are the benefits?
No, I was totally joking. One square foot of butane at 30 psi would be like a hand grenade going off.

I'm guessing your next post will say something like I was joking about joking about joking? Is your name Richard Kristie or Sal Governale (spelling?)?

$3.20 for 93 here in St. Louis and according to what I've heard we're supposed to have some of the cheapest gas in the country.

maybe nitrogen is used in tires because it does not contain impurities and inconsistencies of our air so they expand at the same rate each and every time =D

just an idea..
