What to do with truck tires

Posted by yogibear420@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 20 comments

This lovely pair of tires came to a rest in my yard after smacking into the wall of my garage. Police dont have any reports of trucks missing tires. How do I get rid of these things?

I would have that wall inspected. Then call around to tow companies to find out who got who’s rig towed.

Yeah we live on a 45mph and it traveled at an angle about 400 feet through a number of yards.m before it hit. Got really lucky and only had to replace a couple of pieces of siding and wood backing board. Missed my electrical meter by 2 feet.

Bold of you to assume the driver stopped anywhere near there.

Keep ‘em. Get a 12lb sledge hammer and workout with them.

Scrap yard. Especially if you can get someone to break them down.

A lot of scrap yards will not take tires or will charge for them

Yeah, sawzall is how I used to get them off. Truck tires have a lot of uses especially for like outdoor type shit. Used to make benches, tables and planters.

How could a rig continue with out a set of duals? Especially with the brake drum?

Drag a spindle?

How good are the remaining brakes going to work???

That could cause some serious damage to everything it hit. Or kill somebody. Especially if moving at freeway speed....
