What to do with old tires?

99Bassa · 07-15-2012, 12:31 PM

First off I asked "what to do" not "where to put" so no need to reply with the up your arse comments.

I have 4 bike tires that have been replaced with nice new rubber. Of course I got them a couple days before the Pirelli group buy.

Now they are just taking up space in my kind of crowded garage. Other than just tossing them out the back of the truck on the roadside. Where can I get rid of them?

TIA

Do what any self respecting biker trash would do with them. Turn them into a planter.

Les Schwab will dispose of them. They have taken mine for free in the past. Else, I think there is a $2/tire disposal fee.

... or give the rear tires to your local stunters.

I throw them in dumpsters, or give them to my buddy to take to work.

So I'll post the sizes up and if anyone wants them they are welcome to take them. One or all. If I don't have in takers in a week or two....I'll donate them to Les Schwab.

I refuse to answer on the basis that I may incriminate myself.

This is what I did. I would take one but no more room in the garden. http://boiseriders.net/off-topic/141...-planters.html

I would be happy to pass them on to a fellow cheap bastard.

110/90 - 18
140/80 - 17
120/70ZR -17
180/55ZR -17

I am sure they are good for a few hundred miles or a couple of burnouts.

Come and take them all away so I don't have to go use the gas to go to Les Schwab. That is just the kind of cheap bastard I am. LOL
