    Anyone know anywhere in Dublin to get one (possibly for free, or cheapest possible)

    Have been looking on adverts/donedeal and the ones I'm seeing either don't seem heavy enough or are being sold as second hand reusable (with a hefty cost).

    Anyone have a heavy tyre they need gotten rid of?

    E: Tyre will be used for strongman training. So something sizeable is needed.

    Does it have to be in Dublin?
    You're going to need a van or trailer to bring it home anyway, so perhaps you might have better luck looking further afield.
    Tractor/heavy plant dealerships and tyre fitters in rural areas would be likely places to look, and many farmers' yards would have an old tractor or truck tyre knocking about.

    Also, the disposal of waste tyres is controlled by legislation (S.I. No. 664/2007 - Waste Management (Tyres and Waste Tyres) Regulations 2007), so a dealership or tyre fitter may be unwilling/unable to help out unless you're 'buying' a tyre for 'reuse'. ;)

    Also also, be very careful of old damaged tyres. Wire poking out of a damaged carcass is dangerous stuff, and old tyres that have been knocking about outside in the weather for years will be crumbly and filthy.

    If your looking for the real heavy tires that they seem to use in the comps on tv its more of an industrial loader or artic dump truck tyre you're looking for. In that case you may find one in some of the big plant companies in or around dublin, there's a few out around kingwoods cross on n7 or in around ballymount industrial
