I cut around the tread to make 2 rings and the fold the tread up and hold it with wire. I put the tread into a trash bag before putting in other stuff. I wire the 2 rings together and throw them in the trash.
It is acceptable to put cut up tires in the trash where I live. The sidewalls must be cut out for them to take it. It is too bad there aren't more uses for these tires.
I cut a 4 inch strip from the steel belted tread part of the tire (truck tires for more length) and bolt mount it to the edge of my snow plow blades. It helps prevent them from hanging up on rocks or uneven asphalt road patches, works well for gravel roads as it gets down to the surface but doesn't scrap the gravel off like a hard edge blade will and the steel belting makes them durable and stiff. It also prevents wear/chips on the hard blade edge, and when the rubber wears down after some winters I just cut another to replace it. I went though some not so fun trial and error winters before figuring this out. I hope it helps someone else. This video gets a👍
I’ve got an old aluminum ladder with ancient plastic feet that were hard as rock. I cut some strips to mount onto those pads so it’s not so slippery on concrete surfaces any more . Works great
Thanks for the tips. My aim has been to cut tire treads for sandal soles or for lace-on boot/shoe under soles. I can see your technique wedded with sole-shaped wooden blanks as blade guides and stabilizers.
me too! cant figure out the next step to adhere or stitch. as in to what? im guessing a glue as a seal would help. you could have narrow feet and a wide tred for quick removal snow shoes or ice cletes.
I don't know how CZcams knew that I have an upcoming job replacing four tires on my mini truck myself and not wanting to deal with the tire disposal fee ripoff. This video will be a big help. Thanks.
@liberty4ever It’s funny you say that, I just watched a video from Bucken Billy Ray. In the comments section people were talking about that. Some say the phone is listening to them. That is not the first time I’ve heard that. 🤔🤔
Thanks for the video, very useful. I've cut them with serrated knives in the past but I'm with you, it's a lot of effort. Good tip about modifying the blade to cut out the tyre wall. Keep up the good work
Nice video. I'm 56. I grew up on a small dairy farm in the central valley of California in the 70s and 80s. When I was a kid we threw whole tires onto the plastic covering the silage pits. As did many people. Somewhere in there people started companies that covered silage using only the sidewalls (andplasticof course). Back then guys would just use a big knife. It's tough, I've done a few. I have also used a Sawzall. Much easier. But I don't have enough tires. So I use the whole tire. I use them to hold down my tarps on my haystacks.
slick! loved the power clamp as well, reminds me of when my father setup a cordless drill with a bit that fit over the flywheel on the lawnmower as the pull start broke. was so handy i don't think we ever replaced it.
Great Video. I have seen this tires used a soles for shoes that was used by shepherd about 40 years ago. They were poor, but this method made last for many many years. They had sheep wool socks and on the bottom was the tire laced on up to the knees. It looked solid strong. Thanks for bringing back memories.
When I was machining rubber on a lathe, I found an oil-water emulsion cutting fluid that reduced the drag on the tool cutting the rubber. This was necessary to hold tolerances on aircraft parts. In your case, it would be of benefit in reducing effort and heat and prolonging tool life. I was using a water-immissable cutting oil that's long gone made by Gulf. Adding Dawn dishwashing soap to water should make it able to emulsify oil. So, you can add mineral or vegetable oil to keep your tools from rusting. A squirt bottle should do for application.
Nice video, and good explanation throughout. I'm about to cut up a logger tire to get it off of a wheel so I can use the wheel as a firepit. This was helpful - thanks!
I always liked using tire rubber for making pads. I have my 80-gallon vertical tank air compressor mounted to the floor on the tire rubber pads. 22 years and still going strong.
Tires are tuff, good use. I use plastic shopping bags for trash in a few cars hung from the head rest. To keep them from flopping around I dropped in a piece of tire tread. Just right, worked out great.
@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 I have always thought about tracing out the soles of my work boots when they wear out, and somehow vulcanize them to the. If I can successfully do that, I think I'd finally have boots where the uppers would wear out before the soles.
Many years ago I bought a 4" serrated blade for my Sawzall made for cutting rubber and fibered material, like your knife blade, it cut very fast and aggressively!
Thanks for the video, I am always trying to look for easier ways to cut the tires. I actually make some garden decorations out of them and sell them. So far I have been using a retractable razor to cut the side walls and an angle grinder to cut through the tread.
Okay, now I'm going in to business, 😅 they would make good triple life time shingles. For a she shed or a barn .u name ,maybe even a tiny house . What do you think
I used race tires for siding and the roof on a shed I built for a homeless vet. The race tires I cut with a retractable razor and it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. They are easier to use because they don't have steel running though the tread. but if I were to use regular tires, I would use a grinder with a metal cut off wheel to cut the tread, it leaves a cleaner finish on the edges and rarely has any of the steel hanging out. I do use regular tires to make garden decorations.
cutting a tire with a knife by hand the secret is pull the cut open so the tire doesn't drag on the blade.a sharp knife will zip through the tire not the tread. i just roll up the tread then nail it together car tires will usually fit in a grocery bag.
Do you have a trick for cutting the bead without damaging an aluminum wheel? I've got a dozen or so old mags in great shape w/ chit tires. The beads are giving me fits.
I go the extra mile and use a grinder to obliterate most of the pertinent data from the sidewalls like date of manufacture and serial numbers. This prevents scavengers from the dumpsters of pulling it out of the recycling dumpster and place it in the trash dumpster. If authorities wanted to take the time to track the information and charge you with improper disposal when it’s not your fault.
Any body ever tried using cut-up tires as concrete fill? You only need so many cushions or pads (although I thought that was pretty innovative) and I can't see needing more than two tire swings. But if you could use those scraps as concrete fill, say in concrete steps where they won't take any structural load, that would get rid of them forever.
Lol, I use tires to make garden decorations. I made a frog in a top hat with a cigar hanging out of its mouth, it stands about 3.5 feet tall, I made a rooster and I made pumpkins in top hats. I have a lot of little pieces left over, I might just try that in a few years when I replace one of my side walks.
Use Carbide Blades (not the bimetal ones) and wet the tire before cutting . I regularly cut up old car tires. The blades that worked best are those carbide blades with tiny teeth. They get very hot during use and may lose teeth cutting the steel ring at full speed in the tire without cooling. But carbide does not like to get shock cooled. So it worked best for me to reduce cutting speed and to cut wet tires (moisture cools the blade gently).
We take 'em to the landfill, they charge $1 each... they shred 'em. Not waisting time and working on something I can get rid of 30 old tires in 20min not much work but it cost $30 and $3 in gas. But for someone needing a bunch of scrap rubber tires it's good...
Oki, so i find your video good. I am deep 8nto the process of cutting up tires as i am making a new product that i am counting on is gonna be quite a succes. So i am trying to learn the best technique, and and tools for this. Now… what i am missing in this video, is to see your cut from where you cut the tire crossover, so that is can be hold with wood, in the second cut in the video.. its like you letout this cut, and this is what is abit hard to comprehend. Could you shed some light on this? Thanks✌️
@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 id love to see it on a video. Me, i have basicly build a tall table, with i can place the tirein around 80 cm, to get a good angle with the reciprocating saw.. but ive tried maybe 4 different kinds of blades, and its hard to get any solid “this is what to do”.. my best blades seems to be some wood blades with uneven teeth on them, and cutting/sawing in an uneven angle, where i can pull down while sawing. Ive tried to clamp the tires, but the clamps just loosing very quick. So ive actually placed a board with some weights ontop, so hold it down, and its pretty okayish.. however i still feel improvements is to be made.. ive tried several times of using a metal blade with small fine teets, but it just seems to grind against the rubber. I see you points in clamping it down, with a piece of wood, but yea.. it requires an initial cut where such clamping isnt an option, because of the round shape… also id like to tackle the beads with better tools, because angle grinder causes fume, smell and smoke instant, so i am trying to figure out witch cutter to go for.. ive broke in 2 bolt cutterjaws already, because they werent strong enough in their steel. So i am trying to figure out what hrc value those wires/rings of steel in the tires are made off, to not brake yet another cutter in this learning process. Hydralic cutters seems to be the best, but they cost way to much for me. Have also tried to figure out of recipprocating saw can cut the beads, but i guess it will grind the blades down faily quick.. oh yea.. i forgot to mention, i work indoors 😊
@@silasgroenning Hi, may I ask what you are cutting the tires for? I cut tires to make garden decorations and I find it is easier to cut across the tread with an angle grinder, it does produce a burning rubber smell and I use protective gear but in my opinion it is easier and it also leaves a smoother edges and doesn't leave a lot of steel hanging out to cut yourself on.
@@catdooley4616 hey. Its actually best to use reciprocating saw on the front of the tire. Only beads gievs angle grinder the upper hand, since you use more disc then blades on the rubber part, aside from no fumes with the saw as well, witch is major. I am cutting an odd shape for a special puporse. But even thou if i where to cut straight through i only would use angle grinder for the beads
Its also alot about having the right blade and cutting from s certain angle, with the tire in a steady position, then the recipeocating saw really shines
I tried it once and new steel blade would not cut the bead.Thought maybe you were gonna drill some holes then run a corded sabre saw around.The tire i tried was a motorcycle tire.
Great video! Thank you for the upload! Your method looks like it will work for me! Have 40ish tires left by a tenant to dispose of, this will save me about $300! *CURIOUS - Did you try a banana shaped knife blade on the sidewall? Would it maybe start easier than then sheep's foot shape you used for the sawzall?
As I stated some use a knife by hand but I'm too old for that, LOL. Also while I did sharpen a old blade into a knife you can use a fine tooth blade on both the tread and sidewall.
Where you clamp the tire to cut it into chunks why don't you clamp it with two pieces of wood the same size as the top piece one on top and one on the underside, then you can do two cuts and speed up the cutting time
... don't you have a local recycling center? Most tires in Texas end up at Cement factories, where they are burned in their furnaces 🤔 It would be faster to drive down to a recycling center, and use your extra free time for something productive 😂 Like building a backyard Thermal Depolymerizer Pyrolysis unit 😮
You're welcome, glad you liked it. And that sounds awfully high. Our local walmart is only 2 bucks and its been awhile but a local shop was also $2 for cars and $4 for bigger truck types.
I make many things with tires, I always watch to see if there is an easier way than the way I currently do it. i made a bunch of garden decor to sell. So far I made frogs in top hats that stand 3.5 feet tall, roosters, and pumpkins. I also made a teacup and teapot planter, wishing well planter and inverted flower planter.
Not bad. Could've been a lot shorted video. Also you should have mentioned what else you use those pieces for. Most comments down below mention not being able to use the tire pieces for anything. And the clamp modification was nice too. Cut the videos short, stop repeating so much and you'll be golden. If people miss something they will just back up the video.
Thanks. I will remember this if I ever need to dispose of a tire by hiding it in my household trash.
I cut around the tread to make 2 rings and the fold the tread up and hold it with wire. I put the tread into a trash bag before putting in other stuff. I wire the 2 rings together and throw them in the trash.

@@offroad6309 yes seems like I remember those at various flea markets.

Easy way to make your own shingles
Log splitter works good. If you do not want to use the old tire.

You can cut up a tractor tire with a chainsaw, just stay away from the bead because of the heavy wire there.

A fine tooth metal cutting blade.

It should. Just more to man handle.

I can't understand why anyone wants to cut up tires
I make many things with tires, I always watch to see if there is an easier way than the way I currently do it. i made a bunch of garden decor to sell. So far I made frogs in top hats that stand 3.5 feet tall, roosters, and pumpkins. I also made a teacup and teapot planter, wishing well planter and inverted flower planter.
You have just ruined that tyre.
Not bad. Could've been a lot shorted video. Also you should have mentioned what else you use those pieces for. Most comments down below mention not being able to use the tire pieces for anything. And the clamp modification was nice too. Cut the videos short, stop repeating so much and you'll be golden. If people miss something they will just back up the video.
