Have you ever thought about the lifecycle of a tire? Like every other type of product that is made, a tire starts out on a designer’s sketchpad. Each year improvements are made in the design of tires to help them last longer and become more resistant to puncture or leakage. Those design specs are then handed over to the tire manufacturer who implements the changes and begins creating boatloads of new tires. Those tires are then shipped out retailers and auto repair shops where they are sold car owners. The tires are either sold as a single replacement, in pairs for the front or rear or in sets of four. After those tires have served its purpose they are removed and disposed of. Thus completes the circle of life for a tire.

On some level you don’t have a whole lot to do any of those stages except for two: which tire to buy and how to get rid of your old one. In regard to which tire to buy, a lot of that is dictated by price and the proper size that will fit your current automobile.

You might see tires advertised at a great price only to discover they are meant for small cars and not your family SUV. As with any other kind of major purchase you should always be on the lookout for a bargain when it comes to replacing your tires. If you can, wait for special sales like over holiday weekends such as Fourth of July for Labor Day. You might even find some valuable coupons in all that junk mail you quickly throw away! You should also check with your own car’s manufacturer for their suggestion of the best tire for your car. The last thing you want to do is go into some tire store and end up spending hundred dollars more on a tire you don’t really need.

As for getting rid of your old tire this is actually a major issue for many cities especially Nashville. You could stack up your old tires outside your garage but that’s very unsightly. You might think could just roll those tires away and hope for the best but it’s illegal to dump tires. The best choice is to find a way to recycle those tires. That can be done by hiring a Nashville Junk removal crew like Junk King that specializes in that kind of disposal. Recycling tires can only occur at a proper facility. This won’t be the same place where all your plastics and newspapers end up.

Material from recycled tires can go back into tire manufacturing. It can also is used in creating a special kind of road asphalt. The last thing you want to happen is to have a pile of tires catch on fire because that would burn years!
