How many old tyres do you have lying around. I've not got that many but I'm sure you lot will have loads.
Start you off.
kenda nevegal 2.35" and blue groove 2.35",
Bonty mud x 2",
Tioga Factory DH 2.3" That must be 12 years old,
Conti MK 2.2",
Hutchinson coyotes 2.3" front and back, The worst tyre in the world.
And a pair of nobby nics 2.25" and 2.4".
Pananracer Trailrakers 1.9 x2
Pananracer Trailblasters (used once scared myself stupid, taken off, and never used again)
Maxxis Advantage (nice in the dry, scarily bad in moist "wet summer" conditions)
High Roller 2.1 thin single ply (worse than useless at not puncturing)
Think that's it for off road, couple of gash roadie tyres laying about the place as well...
The Tioga Factory DH's were the dogs in there day when I was racing.
If you want to take any off my hands....

Think thats about it without going into road & cx tyres
Strangely enough I sorted my 'spare' tyres out on Saturday when I put the mud tyres back on the bike for the summer. Amongst a pile of about 20 I have 2 pairs of IRC Mud Mads, a few TrailRakers in 1.95 & 2.1, some Tioga Mud Race (see a theme developing here...) along with some Fire XC Pros, a 2.35 and a 2.1 Nevegal, a pair of Kenda Kharisma, a couple of Twister 700x32mm CX tyres and a pair of Conti Grand Prix 700x28mm. Plus of course the ones on the bikes...
Anyone want to buy some tyres?! 😕
None, I gave all my part used ones away as I needed to accrue some positive karma.
Around 8 in the shed, about a dozen in the loft and a further 8 or so sat in the side alley of my house awaiting disposal (can't even give them away apart from to the horrible local pikey kids and i'd rather bin them than do that). And of course the other 20 tyres currently sat on bikes. So quite a lot i guess.
Is there nowhere that you can take old tyres to recycle them? Seems such a waste to stick them in the bin.
Get howies to make belts out of them.
