A little more info: Tire rubber has a heating value of 15,000 BTU's per pound, which is similar to petroleum. A tire needs to reach just over 1000 degrees F to ignite. A candle flame is about 1400 degrees F and a blowtorch is about 2370 degrees F.... I'd tell you more, but i'm tired.
Sorry for the bad pun.
