Two issues and naturist is spot on in regards to fluid coupled third members...it will get hot enough to burn...but inside gearbox...little fresh air...so it continues to heat up even more
It will spew hit fluid out the vent and will flame As soon as it gets fresh air
Or, it will lose lube properties...to then have the bearings go metal to metal...and fail by seizing...which might crack the gearbox case...to allow fresh air in...to then flame...
Other, is that ABS,Traction control, AWD, etc computers counting revs per mile for EACH wheel....it might see that one outside of the expected rev's for THAT condition...one might set the brakes, ABS buzz one tire, or what other components and/or systems are in that game...
Shaving tires is NOT as easy as it sounds...
The tread profile MUST be kept and there are cams for the shaver head to follow
The tire HAS to be ROUND with in spec for that tire and the other three
A BIG ETC...worked my way through college as a tire monkey...
If me, I'd get FOUR new tires. Ask how much the dealer will pay...most likely no...so sell them on Craigslist/etc
