lighter fluid

does anybody know if using the lighter fluid method of fitting tyres will damage them?
when you spray aerosol into the tyre wen it is over the rim then light it and it popps on....
seems like it could endanger the tyre 2 me..

It could damage the tyre wall. Id get it fitted by a garage for safety.
