sleepwalker -> RE: 2007 R320 Explodes during blizzard (2/8/2007 4:57:44 AM)

very interesting.
the tire blows up. but the temperature is not low enough to to make the rubber/nylon brittle. not unless a liquid nitrogen was used.
you didn't shoot it from the stairs did you?
the thread wasn't worn out, so i guess the wheel doesn't have much friction on it.
however, i can see that the edge of the rim which could touch the ground is SHINY... it means that the wheel was rotating when it explodes. thus creating the spark but... there wasn't any smoke, was there???
red, orange flame and spark... the rim is clean and no fire at all. no burn marks or anything.
your fuel filler is on the other side...this can't be the cause. diesel aren't that easy to burn in cold weather.
when it shifts in reverse gear, the door automatically locks.
i think, it's a tire problem.
lots of pirelli tires got bulge on the side...and it touches something. this can only be confirmed by closer inspection.
let us know the progress.
