Does anyone know of a 300kg tyre for a strongman tyre flip type thing? I’ve got a friend who’s planning to do 1000 tyre flips in 24 hours

Just about every farm in the country should have a rear tractor tyres laying in the hedge
Or for a real challenge one with a rim in especially an old cast rim

I like cake
I have a large 24 inch telehandler tyre ready to go I don’t think any are 300 kg though

@Shovelhands A perfect way to get rid of those old tyres off Big A! Be some effort turning them over as they are so wide!

300kg is a fair tyre though. For some reason they never seem to flip them with the rims on though

Probably need to be bigger than that I think.

Are you able to tell me the size of that tyre? He can email the manufacturer and get a weight from them.

That was a pic of a new tyre, not one I’d actually let go, I’ve only just bought a pair
They are 66x43x25 and the ones in the pic are Firestone’s
I have a pair of Firestone’s coming off that I may let go. I also have an old Goodyear which I will let go, but is probably lighter than the Firestone and might be hard to get spec on because Goodyear no longer makes them, despite pioneering the terra tyre concept. I also have a Chinese radial which is possibly heavier? If your friend was serious then I could get one weight no problem, I just don’t have that facility here.
They are a big tyre, about 1m wide and I’m no weightlifting expert, but I think it would be awkward as fukc to lift up off the deck, as it’s so tall? A 23.5x25 earthmover radial would probably be easier, they are quite heavy, but crucially you’d get your head and chest over the tyre to lift it, whereas I think you’d struggle with the big floatations? If you get what I mean?

Thanks for that, he’s just found one local to him though. The daft bugger just has to flip it 1000 times now. Without a forkliftThat was a pic of a new tyre, not one I’d actually let go, I’ve only just bought a pair
