Title: Used Tyres
Post by: Spitfire on October 09, 2021, 04:05:49 PM
Just got round to replacing the tyres on my 750 and wondered what you lot do with the old ones these days, in the old days I would have taken them to the tip but that is not allowed now and no they can't go on the garage/shed roof either. I was thinking of chopping them up and putting them in the bin.

Cheers

Dennis

Use in the garden, make a planter,

Or take to a tyre fitter and ask to dispose

Take them to a tyre fitter, they charge about £2 around here. I will admit to also getting him indoors to cut them up in the past with the grinding wheel and me disguising them in black sacks and taking to the tip 🙃🙃🙃. The grinding wheels wear out really quickly when doing this though, it's actually cheaper to pay the tyre fitters to dispose of them.

You can give them a whole new life on the side of a tug!  ;D

Thanks for the replies guys, I was thinking of the cutting them up route like Julie but Mick's post got me looking at the internet and sure enough there is a firm round here that takes them off your hands, though as we are near the Mersey there must be some tugs that need them.

Cheers

Dennis

I cut them up with a oscillating multitool and throw them in the bin
