I was surprised to find how often tyres appear in my photographic archive although not in a tired theme.
I'm old enough to have ridden a bike before pneumatic tyres were common place but I'll leave it to my daughter to demonstrate the hard variety on her bike.
There are occasions when tyres may bring a rider to a hard conclusion.

New tyres on a new car are things to be admired as well.
But large tyres like this have to pass the smell test.

Some need to be a help in agriculture.

When it's too cold to work tyres may even take a rest.

In some cases you only know where they have been by -

I'm pleased to say that when their working life is over, tyres may still provide fun for some.

| Swing anyone? |
If you are not too tired by now I suggest you swing over to see more at Thematic-photographic-364. while I ignore the red lines under tyres put there by the automatic spell check.

Hi Bob - wonderful shots - showing us the history of tyres in the last half of the last century into this one ... love the captions too - cheers Hilary
Quite a range of tyres there, Bob. There was a tree sculpture made of tyres at our local National Trust property last time I visited and we once created a flower pot from an old punctured tyre. Amazing what you can create when you put your mind to it.

Lily and Scout are such good watch dogs :)
What an amusing post, Bob!...:)JP
Plenty of tyre photos to see here Bob. I had a trike like that when I was a toddler. The Scarecrow photo fooled me. Nuthin' better for a swing than an old tyre hangin' from a tree.
Terrific array of tyres there! Real lateral thinking, and great shots as well! Congratulations.
