Free Vehicle Tyres Kent

based on the Isle of Sheppey kent these people are giving away tyres,ok not new but legal,and there is a chance for you to earn as well(re-sell) they do not mind,

dont forget to say thanks


hello

firstly i would like to thank everyone who has been down and collected tyres
from us

There have been many uses including drifting,banger
racing,farmers,schools,sandpits,kick boxing clubs,hop scotch,tree swings,flower
pots,marine use,retaining walls,race tracks and people selling the good tyres on
ebay/local paper.

We dont care what you use them for wheather you want one tyre or thousand

we have approx 11,000 tyres from car tyres 12" to
24",van,4x4,trailor,truck,tractor,construction,forklift
all sizes available

some are 6mm in tread (A new tyre is 8mm) to be legal a tyre must have 1.6mm so
there are plenty of tyres that are road legal if you need tyres for your car

hope these will be of use to you

    I can confirm that there are plenty of tyres there for you to pick over, so that you can make sure you get some decent ones.

    I got a set with really good tread for my 4x4 and two sets of 13 inch tyres for my trailer. Took a bit of searching for the 4x4 tyres but got there eventually. And given how expensive they are to buy, it was well worth the effort.

    Seemed a bit strange to drive off with my car rammed full of tyres and not pay anything, but i'm not complaining!!

    All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!

  • Why are they giving away tyres with 6mm tread? Don't suppose they would post them for a few quid?

    Any pointers as to whereabouts on Sheppey the place is?

    I wanted to get some tyres to grow potatoes in.

    Great for people that are growing spuds etc.

    Personally I would never fit second hand tyres on my car though, I worked as a tyre fitter for a while years ago and saw enough while I was working there to put me off second hand tyres for good. If anyone has ever suffered a blowout on the motorway then you will know how scary a tyre failure can be.

    When tyres are taken on and off rims it can weaken the bead of the tyre, its also hard to tell if tyres have bulges in the sidewalls.
