I live in a city centre (Exeter, Devon) with no car so anything like an out-of-town scrap yard is out of the question (severely cutting down my options I know!)
There are a couple of MOT stations and a KwikFit within walking distance however.
I am after a tyre from a tractor, lorry or large 4x4 to use in my fitness training, so it doesn't have to be road worthy (I am going to bash the hell out of it with a sledgehammer).
Any suggestions?
PS, I intend to roll the tyre home with a gang of mates, if need be) in case you're wondering!

I would approach local farmers & ask if they have any old tyres lying around. Most farmers have loads of junk lying around & will probably be happy for you to haul it away for free.
Failing that try ebay, link below.

well, That is a pretty stupid question (no offense) I am in exmouth, not to far as u know and if a farmer needs a new tyre, he would not go to a city center fitter to do so, would cost far too much. I can not remember if they have a farmers market in exeter, they do in exmouth so you could ask a farmer direct or phone them up in the yellow pages. May charge delivery costs or something like that. You could also try haven banks activity center. They may have a spare one or I thought there may be a couple of places around there automobile related, not been for ages but worth a shot to see if they have any clues.

Anywhere like Kwik fit or tyre specialists will be only to happy to give you a tyre as they have to pay to dispose of them.

Try asking your local mobile tyre fitter, They will probably get them back from jobs. I dont know if they remould these tyres though.

See your GP, which you in many situations do earlier beginning any weight-help plan. he or she will refer you to a dietitian and propose you on how lots you're able to lose and the superb routines you're able to do to realize a healthy weight. commonly, weight-loss is a basic case of ingesting much less, and shifting greater. attempt to do a minimum of half-hour of exercising an afternoon, and decrease down on sugary beverages and ingredients, carbohydrates (yet in no way do away with them completely as your physique needs them) and of direction fatty ingredients. solid success!

If you`re going to roll the tyre back to your home,legally it must have a minimum tread depth of 1.5 millimetres otherwise you can be charged under the Road Traffic Act, fined up to £5.000
and get 3 penalty points.

Just ask the guys at Kwik fit. They might laugh when they tell you what you want it for but they probably let you have it.
