Ok so I have a stack of old tires in the garage, I have already built enough tire swings for the neighbor hood and I have the obstacle course laid out in the backyard...what can I do with the rest? Anyone want some old 30 and 32 inch tires....I doubt it so help me with someplace to legally get rid of them. As much fun as rollin them off the pier sounds the the fish/ocean people would probably not find it real funny. Thanks

Screw a piece of plywood to the bottom then call them goat feeders.:bender: You could probably sell them for 30 bucks a piece. Really!

Cut the treads off, chop up the sidewalls for arena footing filler. Hey I'm not making this shit up.

Cut up the treads into little contact patches glue on a handle in the back are sell them as art/painting stencils. Start your own Martha Stewart collection and get rich.

Lay them out side on the side and water them well. By spring you will have employed a whole army of mosquito abatement people thereby improving your local econoomy and getting another bum off the street and into civil service.

Convince your local county to use them as slope retainers. Mostly buried tires work real well in keeping ground where it is. They don't biodegrade real fast and don't have sharp edges that could injure small creatures and little children. If half the tire was exposed they'd double as reptilian habitats. Hell your County or City should pay you for them.

Course you could just contact your local landfill and dispose of them there, but you will need to pay them for your resources.

I saw on some home improvement show a guy turn them inside-out and cut them a certain way and then spray paint them and he had a big ugly flower pot afterwards! :flipoff2:

But, there are obviously kids in the neighbourhood, you could tie them all together in a chain and they can use it as a ladder to get up to a treehouse that you can build later. :D
(Sorry to create so much work for ya!!!)

Don't you think we should finish the engine swap before taking on other projects?:beer:
