I knew there was a trick to turning them, like 'folding' a bandsaw
blade, I came in and looked it up on the web, and I still couldn't do
it...(that was about two years ago)
I acquired most of my tires from the roof of my barn. They may have
been there for 15 or twenty years for all I know.. There were over
twenty tires up there on the 25x40 roof.
