Ideas for old tires?

[JustinB]

My new Michelin's came in today and they will be on the car tomorrow. I am taking off the OE tires which are 11 years old with less than 5,000 miles on them. I know they are pretty worthless so I was wondering if anyone had inventive ideas of what to do with them.

then let your tire shop recycle/dispose them.

I saw a cool thing my buddy did--he stacked 2 on each other and had a 60" or so round glass top made over the top of the two tires--made a great looking table for his man cave--Dave

What he said. That's what I would recommend you do. You could also make them into chairs.

I had planned to smoke mine off the back, but had a hard time finding a suitable place to do it. I ended up selling them back to the previous owner ... I think he was going to do the same thing. If you can find a place to do it, go drifting ... that will REALLY make you appreciate the new ones. Glad you finally are getting rid of those hockey pucks!

If using them for furniture, just be careful that the sidewalls may stain carpet or wood floors over time. Some sort of barrier between the tire and the floor would take care of the issue.

Enjoy the new rubber.

Cheers,

Too late to burn them but I do like the table idea. Thanks for the pics that's some good inspiration.
