This is the impressive moment a driver used a clever motoring hack to repair a damaged tyre by using fire to heat up the dent.

Footage shows the man spraying a flammable cleaning agent onto the tyre and igniting it, causing the wheel to pop back into its original shape and removing the traces of the dent in Hubei, China.

He said that he was utilising the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to achieve this.

When materials are heated, they generally expand, and when cooled, they contract. This principle is important in everyday life, such as in the construction of bridges and railways, where engineers must consider these size changes to ensure safety and stability.
