What do you do with old tires?

[jkalla]

Any uses for tires that have tears in the sidewall or torn off knobs or just plain worn down tread?

[SilverAthlon]

Garbage. Unless you want to get creative and use them for chainstay protectors as discussed in a thread a month ago.

If you have a trainer that you use your bike on, you can use your old tires for that. I hope to get a deal on one for this winter but I guess they eat tires so you don't want to put good rubber on them.

I consider the old tires hanging from the ceiling in my garage as art. I know it may sound strange but who decorates there garages anymore and it is a male's domain.

This winter I am going to put some of the ones I don't use anymore up for sale on this site. $5 bucks or less for a tire with many miles left on it should hopefully sell it.

John, have you been riding much lately? Are you interested in doing some night riding?

[Hardrocker]

Easy one... eBay! There's always a bidder for anything you try to sell on there!:laugh:

If the tread isn't comletely gone, then you could stud them and use them for winter riding - snow, ice and such.

I ride 'em till the threads start coming off the sidewall! That way I don't feel bad throwing 'em. :)
