Yup. Rock crawlers know this trick. It has to do with running their tires at very low pressures (improves traction as the tire can 'grab' better, but runs the risk of rolling the tire bead off the rim). You use any kind of aerosol spray that is combustible (you know anything that you might have used as a makeshift aerosol flamethrower) and spray it inside the tire, then you use a lighter and use the flamethrower trick to ignite the stuff in the tire (to avoid getting your hand too close to the tire and that small fireball that happens when the stuff combusts/explodes. You can also spray the stuff in the tire and then bring a lighted taper or long stick or something near the tire's edge to ignite the stuff in the tire but the flamethrower thing is easy and you've got the spray can in your hand anyway.
You can even do this with a regular butane lighter if you don't have an aerosol can. Stick the lighter nozzle where the tire separates from the rim and press the trigger to fill the tire with butane, then use the lighted stick to ignite.
