Husky Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 So I have these 295 wide tyres in my garage that used to be on the zed, they have 3mm of tread left but I guess are getting on a bit in age now. What do people suggest I do to get rid of them? Options I've thought of: Pay for the disposal (ugh) chop them up so they are no longer "tyres" and toss them in the bin (hello angle grinder) Recycle them into the garden as planters (Don't have anywhere that they'd look good though) put them on ebay for 99p, collection So does anyone want free 295 wide tyres with 3mm tread? Any ideas of how to get rid of them for free with minimum effort (I'm incredibly lazy) would be appreciated Quote
-Bradders- Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 nearest street corner lol. erm, i think my local tyre place charges £1 a tyre to take them away Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Offer them to StevoD, he might use them for some drifting. I'd love them, but they're a touch wide for me Quote
pmorg4 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I'm sure my local council disposal depot allows depositing of tyres for free, personal only so a few tyres would be fine but not a van load Quote
WhackyWill Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Seem to be a demand for them in Ukraine at the moment..!! 2 Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I used a tyre to make a table, xbox controllers, ipad cables etc go in the middle under the plastic: 1 Quote
Husky Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) hmm, ok. I'd made an assumption it cost a fee to bin them, I'll check how much it is. Ebay is looking likely tbh. EDIT: ok, it's £13 plus the fuel and effort (Reeeeeeallly lazy) to get them in the tip. Edited April 16, 2014 by Husky 1 Quote
richmillions Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I dropped mine off to the council recycling depot Edit: No charge, I think I'm allowed 4 per household per calendar year Edited April 16, 2014 by richmillions Quote
Chris AME Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Our Local tyre place charges £1.50 a tyre Quote
350zedd Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Plant some salad spuds in one.....as the plants grow higher, place another tyre on top & fill with compost...and so on. You'll have loads of tasty spuds in a few months! Quote

ioneabee Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I saw something on facepalm a while back whereby the person put items on their lawn free to take away ie "please help yourself" etc - no takers he changed the sign to £25 (or whatever) and they were "stolen" within hours no idea if it was true .............but makes a good story 1 Quote
docwra Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Driftworks, for free. They will be gone in a week I reckon Quote
marzman Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I just went down to my local quick fit and they let me off load some tyres onto their 'bin' pile for free. cant hurt to ask. Quote
ianphampton Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Drive to Santa Pod on a DWYB day (Drift What Ya Brung) Put them on the car - put 60 psi into them and go burn them off. It'll put a great big smile on your face! Quote
