Reply With QuoteGoogle "commercial tire distributor". Call around locally and ask if they dispose of 18-wheeler (commercial) tires or if they can direct you to a place that does.
You can also call up the manufacturers and ask them to locate a local disposal center.

Battling ropes and tire flipping
Has anyone used/constructed some battling ropes? Advice on where to find/buy them would be greatly appreciated.
Also, for those who flip tires, where did you get your tire from?

A tire-related GPP idea:
You can get a free tire from basically any car/mechanic shop. For about $20, you can attach a hook and a chain and after loading up some weight on it (check out craigslist for free plates), it makes a heck of a sled.

I got my tire from a local tire manufacturing company. They are all over and always have piles of old tires.
