The textile-belted radials are just as good.
They all burn better if you drizzle on a little "over-ripe" alkyd paint and/or DDT mix, on the way in.
Maybe dust with some grated junk cds or dvds.
Y'all are makin' this tire burnin' thing way to much work.
Just get yourself some 55-gallon barrels with a lift-off lids and fill full of lacquer thinner. As you make your summer tire collections just cut them in half, or quarters, and drop the pieces in the barrels. The lacquer thinner will dissolve the rubber; you'll need some sort of hook to fish out the steel and stir from time to time. You'll know when the "soup" is ready 'cause the lacquer thinner gets thick, like chain and bar oil. Now just mix it 50/50 with your used oil and burn using the same method you use for the waste oil, i.e. drip, soaking wood, etc.
One bit of advice; because of splashes, overflows and the occasional rust-through, place your barrels where you don't want any plant-life to grow, ever! I keep mine on the river bank, where the ground slants, that way one side always has dry soil to walk on when adding tires.

Is that a fact or your un-bias opinion?

If you look at my post history you will note I dont normaly start threads like this.
I should not condone internet psudo swearing although I thought he meant love and for that I am sorry.
I still agree with yooper though minus the #### substitution.

I just found out why Pook is so hard to understand.
"A 'Pook' is a being from a far off planet which was destroyed in terrible intagalactic war. According to stories dating from the 13th century, Pooks were reknowned for their kindness, softness and their ceaseless ability to love and be loved. The planet was predominanly pink, as were the Pooks themselves. Most buildings and plants were edible but soft, with no hard edges or corners. This story didn't change until the early 1980's when it was said that because of their naivety and inability to think the worst of people, the Pooks were not able to defend themselves when a rogue race of aliens invaded and destroyed their planet on March 16th 1981. Folklore says that one lone Pook escaped with their life and has inhabited a human body, living undetected somewhere in England, although this has never been proved. "
