My garbage man said if the tire is cut in half they will take them, so it is a half moon. I will cut the side wall with a utility knife and then take the tread and use a skill saw wwith an old carbide blade on it and it and fold it in and cut it next to the fold and cut it into three or four pieces, I have never had a problem getting rid of four or five, also I also take the beads and use them in the bottom of a brush pile to help it burn and then sell the wire with my shred, the fire takes the temper out of the wire so it folds up and put them in a microwave shell or fridge. Make sure to use your PPE. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
I will have to try the skill saw, I bought a blade a while back from Harbor Fright, carbide with a lot of teeth, I use it to cut aluminum ladders and stuff. should work good for a tire,
If you cut the side wall of the tire into a flower shape, you can invert the tire and turn it into a flowerpot shaped like a flower. That you can sell for more than scrap.
I have cut up loads of tires for the fire. I use a sharp knife and soapy water. easier and faster than a saw. Even big Land Rover tires. sidewall is just rubber.
If you take the valve stem out and run over the tire slowly with your truck on the edge with the wheel/tire laying flat it will break the bead and then you can use soap and tire irons from harbor freight to remove the tire from the wheel without cutting anything at all. After you break bead on one side turn the tire over and break the bead on the other side. You did a good job but it takes a very long time to cut with a jig saw and angle grinder.
I have a bead breaking tool, works good but some tires are very hard to break the beads on, some have said cut the bead on each side with an angle grinder and then cut the tire with a Sawzall in half
I do it the same exact way, but I don't cut the entire way around. I cut around the outside and inside only about a third of the way. Just enough so I can get the grinder in sideways and work comfortably. Then I cut sideways only on one side and tuck that center piece under so it's out of the way In my county, there's a mosquito control program where they come pick the tires up for free. I had 45 tires kicking around last year and they came and got them after I took them off the rims. I called BJ's wholesale before I found out about this program and they said they will take any tire for $1.40 each.
I just cut the wheel rim into the bead and halfway up the tyre wall then just remove tyre with big screwdriver or tyre levers takes less than 1 min to do 1 wheel.
when I get new tires here ,the tire shop gets rid of the old tires for free and the rims I never get any of those,, I don't really scrap a lot, just what junk I collect from working on mowers and saws etc. @@Okiescrapper
Depends on if you want to keep the rim or scraping it. Scraping it go right to the bead with an angle grinder

yes, I have seen them. they were very popular for a while years ago

Okie, thank you for hearing my request and the additional help. Trash svc has told me its fine if i cut up the tire.
a box knife may be faster, glad to help, read the comments, lots of good ways to get it done
i just go straight for the bead with grinder, then cut tire in half with sawsall. done in 2 minutes
that sounds like it may be the fastest way
Thank you I'm going to ask my dumpster company if I can cut them up excellent video sir thank you for sharing this six stars brother
I know tires can be a problem for us scrappers, it never hurts to ask.
I just use a SawzAll and split the tire in half cutting the front and back of the rim bead.
the wires in the bead seamed to rip the teeth of the Sawzall blade

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by
I think the storage building owners are wise to that old trick :-)
yeah, I am sure someone has done it to them a time or two. lol

nice that you can get rid of them for free, sounds like a good process

I will have to try that
I take a sawzall with a wood blade and cut it on the tires and it takes like a minute per side
the wood blade is the trick, big teeth,
Good video and info
Thanks for watching
Good info!
thanks for watching
If you have different sizes may be a market for tower small garden, strawberries or flowers with outer peace?
Saw a guy down the street painted some white and made a snowman
Why not go straight to the bead ?
What's the scrap value of a steel wheel?
not much, but you have to get the tire off before they will buy it

You could always grow potatos in them
My grandpa would grow his potatoes in tires. Good potatoes every year of course he’s Irish that helps a lot according to him anyway.
yeah, the tread piece would work good for a small raised bed
Take out that valve stem,usually brass. 👍
yes they are,
Cool!
thanks for watching
that's slower than the seven year itch
yes it is slow, got thinking about it, drill hole by the bead, cut straight out to the tread, then cut around. a box knife may be faster
just my opinion but I don't think it's worth all the work and electric to get the rim out,,
what do you do with the tire/rims that you get? pay the tire shop to take them? my electric is cheap, after a certain point it drops to .06 a KW
