like Ed, but more of a stud Member 948, 140 posts SQ 220, BP 145, DL 240 605.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	Hi everyone. I really need a couple of Tyres to use for training. Ive been looking around and really want 1 or 2 OSH KOSH Tyres, but Ive been googling and cant find where to get them from. Ideally I need 1 tyre that is about 100kg 1 thats 150kg and 1 about 200kg but prefer short wide ones like the Osh kosh ones. Any Ideas?? Dont mind if I have to buy them or if quarries are giving them away but need some asap! Cheers Guys

If you go to a commercial tyre depot most will let you have whatever you want in terms of old tyres: Tractor/lorry/earth mover. However, be warned that you will have to move it yourself (try lifting a 300kg tyre into the back of anything!!) and whatever you take you WILL NOT be able to "give back" to them when your wife/girlfriend decides that a 5 foot high, 3 foot thick tyre does not fit the design aesthetic of the garden.

I can't even remember where it was. One was huge and between us we just about tilted it. My training partner was a bigger/stronger guy than me. He ditched the lift before I did and I was left there with the overwhelming weight of the tyre resting on my bent leg! As my leg buckled I somehow managed to get it out! No injury. It was a miracle my leg wasn't broken. Stupid.
