My semi-new 920 pound tire...

[spatts]

spatts you weight 200lbs solid?

I'm fluctating between 203 and 208 lately. If I drink dandelion tea 2-3 times a day and chug a lot of water, I wake up at about 195 pounds or so. Water, water, water.

theres a tire outside the house im living in in a park next to a pond (this house is on a pond and a private park) i wanna try to flip it but i have no idea how much it weighs. i would take a pic but i dont ahve a digi camera.

You've got me thinking... The playground at a nearby primary (elementary) school has a big tire, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately transporting it from there to my place would be impossible. The hill that I would have to roll it down would see to it that it become a weapon of mass destruction

los angeles county isnt quite the mecca of farm/industrial vehicles, so tire finding is quite a task. if i were back home in wisc. there would be no problem.

plus my apartment is upstairs....so i would have to roll that sumbi#ch upstairs to store it too.

damn, city living is hindering some times.

good find spatts!

i think everyone at some point in time has acquired a near half ton tire that we were unable to flip. it's part of growing up. one thing you can be sure of though is that it's going to take a lot of armor all to shine that mofo up. what size rim did you buy for it?

This thing was fun to bring back too. We made a token effort to tie it in, all of us acknowledging the fact that if it decided to go, the rope wasn't going to stop it.

I watched it very closely the first 20 miles or so, just to make sure it wasn't going anywhere.

I also noticed how people give you a lot of room when you're transporting a 900lb. tire with an open tailgate.

Our crew got a 920 lb tire as a gift from animalmass (thanks!!!). So, I rolled it out to the street. Had to take a break after that...whew!. I get it knocked over. I approach it, drive my shoulders into it like Clint showed me. I burned the soles of my shoes off while succeeding to do nothing but stain my tee-shirt a permanent shade of faded black. I got pissed off enough that I actually raised it up about a foot. After several exhausting attempts, I sat on the edge of the tire, only to learn that it was flimsy, and I fell in.

So....I have this tire. Yep. That's about it.

Can you post a pic?
