Whatever the reason, don’t throw away the old tires! There are so many things you can do with old tires. It would be such a shame to just throw them away in the garbage. Here are 5 awesome repurposing ideas for old tires that everyone will love.
Tire Obstacle Course
Create an amazing obstacle course for your kids! Have the tires on the ground or standing upright for them to crawl through. You can time them for races, have them do it for exercise, or just for fun. It could even be a fun activity at a birthday party.

A Place for Your Hose
I can’t be the only person whose hose gets all tangled up. You can use a hose to make a nice spot for your hose to go so that it will never get tangled. Easy peezy!
