Most people who somehow end up with old and unnecessary tires throw them away.

Less often, people try to sell or dispose of tires, and in very rare cases they decide to give them a second life, and all because people simply do not know what an old tire can be used for.

This is what we are going to fix with this article – here you will find several ways to use something that seems unnecessary at first glance.

Overpass

If you have a lot of old tires, you can build a ramp out of them for the front or rear wheels of your car – a small one, of course.

In many situations, such a trestle will serve as a replacement for a jack. True, to assemble it, you will need other materials, but you will probably be able to find what you need in your garage.

Shelves

To make a shelf out of a tire, cut out one side and insert wooden partitions inside.

To be honest, such structures do not look the most elegant, but with their help you can save on shelving for your garage.

Trash can

If you stack several tires on top of each other and secure them with screws, bolts, wire or posts, you will have an excellent trash can at your disposal.

By the way, this same design can also be used as a compost container.
