tire

From the submitter:

In the down & out, post apocalyptic city of East St. Louis Illinois, anything metallic that is not welded in place is fair game for scrappers, including man-hole covers. The city, being without the financial means to replace the missing covers, inserts used tires in their place to alert drivers of the open holes littering the streets.

Are you trying to ford the river with your Ford? I think I got dysentery just from looking at this.

If your neighborhood BMX hills have a bit of a landmine problem, then go ahead and take this bike.

But is it airtight?

No, wheely.

I certainly wouldn't want to trail this guy for too far.

Not bad, but his head isn't covered. He needs to find a very tiny tire.

Factory-installed braces to secure them? Not so much.
