Edited to say the panel shop/chain that sponsors our race car has a policy of never returning a car to a customer without being fully groomed, even if they've only fixed a few paint chips. Apparently the increase in customer satisfaction is well worth the expense of employing a full time groomer with a fully equiped bay.

I am aware that it is not a fuel. But rubber, particularly small rubber particles (dust) in a car tire makes an excellent fuel. In the presence of a powerful oxidiser (such as Nitrous Oxide) it can combust and/or detonate.

can you use LPG in car tyres? and will helium make the car lift a bit and reduce gas mileage. or should I just stick to compressed air?

When was the last tire actually made of rubber, 20 years ago maybe.

Yep I had an old nissan navara that I plumbed up with LPG. I had a tank on the back and fed the line through the cab to a mixer on the air intake. Tap was in the cab. Didn't go as well as I hoped it would to be honest, but it had a little more oomph for hills and passing. Don't know how good for the engine it was but never noticed any pre-ignition issues.
