Filling a Car Tire with Water for Burnouts

Why are these guys filling a car tire with water?

In the clip, watch the enterprising engineers at YouTube channel Life OD fill a car tire with water and rip burnouts for good reason.

After taking the wheels off an ancient Nissan 240SX, the crew jab a hose through the tire's gap, filling it with water with the opposite side sealed.

It does an exceptional job with several burnouts, remaining intact despite splitting a hole on the concrete.

Can you think of another liquid that could work just as well?
