In comics and cartoons, someone running or driving very quickly will leave a trail of fire in their wake. Can be justified, albeit thinly, in the case of a wheeled vehicle (friction causes heat and tires are flammable — though in that case only the tires should be burning).note And even then, the turbulence from the tires spinning would put it out immediately. Can be Justified for aircraft tires, if the wheels are damaged severely enough to cause them to drag along the runway instead of spinning, but this isn't possible for anything that relies on its wheels to provide propulsion. Other times the trail of fire isn't caused by tires or indeed wheels, which may make you wonder what exactly is causing those flames. But honestly, when this trope is employed well, you won't worry about such niggling little details. It's cool. |

Tested and busted on MythBusters. Jamie got a tremendous amount of smoke from their test car's tires note after the first test, he borrowed an oxygen mask from the firefighters supervising things, and after an hour of smouldering the rubber powder did begin to burn. But they were unable to get actual ignition of the tires, even after adding a "gasoline leak". | |

In the episode "Flight to the Finish" of Adventures in Odyssey, the wheels on Dylan's race kart start leaving behind trails of flame because he had accidentally put a dangerous substance known as "Whit's Rotation Compound" on the tires, mistaking it for polish. This ends up giving him a huge advantage in the kart race because the compound causes what it is applied to to start rapidly spinning, making his kart go super fast. When Whit and Eugene discover what happened they freak out and try to rescue Dylan, since the compound also causes what it is applied to to explode after a while. | |

Back to the Future: The Animated Adaptation extended the "two flaming tire trails" to anything that traveled through time, including a barrel sliding down a waterfall.

Spoofed through Epic Fail in the Sonic Boom episode, "Into the Wilderness". Sonic runs laps around a pile of leaves Knuckles set up in an attempt to create a fire; the only thing that gets burning are Sonic's shoes. |
