I've done this MANY times, all very successful but once. We use 
starting fluid, and you must take the valve stem out.
  The unsuccessful time was with old fluid that had lost its 
propellant. We kind of dribbled it into the tire, and lit it just 
when the customer drove it to pick up his spare, now 
fully-engulfed-in-flames tire. They're had to extinguish!
