A person who is 'kicking tires' on a car lot is someone who is just looking the cars over but does not intend to buy. Doing the same thing in a retail store is referred to as 'window shopping.'

What is kick-out in futsal?

I assume that kick-out would mean to kick the ball out. Maybe you mean a kick-in? Because when the ball is kicked out by another team, the opposing team has four seconds to kick the ball back into play. During the kick-in, the player must hold the ball on the sideline so it doesn't roll. The ball must be exactly on the sideline when you kick it in. Your stepping foot-opposite your kicking foot-must not go over the line when you kick it in. The defense should kick the ball in to the offense of the goalie.
