Mythbusters proved that one bullshit. I've actually had a truck tire explode right next to me on the highway. It scared the living gently caress out of me and some tire bits hit my car but my head remains intact.

This statement is semi-correct. They proved that an exploding semi tire will likely not kill you with concussive force or projectile tread bits.

They did however, confirm that tire tread being flung OFF the rim at a high velocity will ruin you if it makes contact with your body.

Yea but who the gently caress needs an episode of Mythbusters to know that??

No one, but who doesn't want to make a tire tread cannon and ruin some simulated flesh golem?
