Technically, if the theory were correct, the Earth would speed up. Try east instead.

An asteroid 10 kilometers in diameter, comparable to the one that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, would have a mass of 1.5 x 10^15 kilograms. If it hit the earth a grazing blow on the equator, it could change the earth's rotation by about 1/20,000,000, or change the length of the day by about .004 seconds.
So, if a worldwide catastrophe like that won't effect the earth rotation much, I doubt if some spinning tires would do much, even if we're talking about a lot of spinning tires. All the cars in the world melted down would not equal the size of a 10 kilometer ateroid, and there wouldn't even be much high velocity or impact.
I hope that answers this recent string of earth rotation questions.

Wowza, that's scary. magnificent challenge to be alive isn't it :) once In a life-time - speaking Heads BQ: Yeah, i develop into sitting in this eating position right here in Beijing. And my relations and that i have been sitting suitable next to the window and the individuals behind our table are smoking like 5 cigarettes. So we keen to modify tables and moved into the again of the eating position. Then, about 10-15 minutes later, this gang comes up in the front of the eating position and throws timber stakes about a foot in length and stones on the window, shattering them. If we were nevertheless sitting in our previous table, shall we've been impaled :O

Yes. And then, when we all hit the brakes, Earth would go spinning wildly out of control, like a billiard ball with too much English.
