DIY Used Tires Ideas

Do you have old used tires sitting uselessly in your yard? Are you tired of wondering what in the world to do with them? If so, you came to the right place because this article will show you some great ideas on how to recycle old used tires that you cannot use for your car. This would include tires that are aged and worn or have had extensive repairs or patching done. If you kept them on a vehicle it would be extremely dangerous to say the least. It's time to bite the bullet, buy some new tires, and recycle the old ones.

One great way to reuse a used tire is to make a tire swing for your kids or for decoration under a tree. This is very easy to do. Just find a thick and heavy rope and tie the two ends of the rope on one side of the tire. Make sure that you tie it securely. Hang it on a sturdy and strong tree branch and voila! You now have a tire swing where your children can play.You could also paint the tire. Another way to recycle old used tires is to grow potatoes or other vegetables in them. You need four old used car tires to do this. Stack them one on top of the other. Fill the inside part with straw up to the second to the last tire. Fill the third to the last tire with soil. Plant your potato seeds in the soil. Make sure that there is enough distance between the seeds. Fill the top tire with more straw. Once the potatoes are ready, you can harvest them by removing the tires from the stack one by one.

You can also make your used tires into somewhat of a training exercise, just like you see in all the football movies where the players have to run through them during practice as fast as possible. You could also make some sort of obstacle course with the tires for yourself or for your kids. These are just a few of the ways to reuse your old tires.
