got the tires..one is 20.5 r25 the other is 20.5 25...both pretty worn, i estimate the r to be in the upper 500's and the other to be in the 400's...was hoping a lil more i told the guy 23.5 25 but oh well better than what i had before which was zippy

HEY GAGS...
after you've trained with them for a couple months...just Duct tape them together..that way you can have a 900lb tire....that would work....

[Gags]

thats alot of duct tape, lol,
Barry, what size is that tire you and graham have?

Back when we used to train in my back yard, we had some equipment that had been used in pro shows marked with some big numbers. Helped keep the neighbors off guard. Or at least entertained.

That Canadian tire chart is pretty cool by the way.

mine is 651lbs..and grahams is 680..they flip almost identical..its a good weight to start with...
and talkin about wrong weights..I've flipped a 770lbs tire...that was a beast..then flipped a "700" pounder that was ridiculously easy, and I've flipped "900" pounders that were easier than a true 770....i think alot of the weights are exaggerated to make it a better "show"..which is cool with me!..

2 years ago..i couldn't even hardly flip graham's tire...

I found out two days ago I can flip a 350 tire with one hand pretty easily.

[Gags]

just got done playing with them..i would say that 20.5r25 is in the 600 area, the 20.5-25 is def. in the low 400's i would say good warm up tire thats about it.....one handed huh, i may have to try that

[Patrick McGuffin]

I have flipped my 500lb tire one handed once. I thought it was cool......

[Barry Perkins]

I've flipped my 800# tire with one hand....while drinking a beer with the other hand...AND talkin on my cell phone via blue tooth..with one shoe on....blind folded...and..uh..uh..and...holding my breath!!!
:FF:
