    Funny?  Want to watch some video from NASCAR and Indycar racing?  How 
much heat sort of depends on SPEED doesn't it? a Corolla is HIGHLY
unlikely 
to hit a speed to break into flames EVEN with a NITROUS BOOSTER - however
- 
heat does build up from wobbling wheels. Maybe as your DRIVE smartass you 
might want to look out your window and see those pieces of rubber from
Truck 
tires. Do you EVER wonder just a LITTLE why those big chunks of rubber are

there? Think HEAT has a LITTLE to do with it Mister KNOW IT ALL?
