How did Jem get even with Scout for contradicting him about Hot Steams in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Jem gives Scout the ride of her life after she discounts
his story about Hot Steams in Chapter 4 of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Jem, Scout and Dill are discussing the Radley Place when Dill, trying to scare Scout,

Steams," Dill asked for an explanation.

said. "Calpurnia says that's
nigger-talk."

Jem paid her
back by rolling her in a tire--right up to the Radley house porch
steps.
