Worlds Largest Tire!


During my frequent travels to Detroit MI lately I've passed by the "Worlds Largest Tire" while leaving the airport.
The 80-foot Uniroyal Tire was first a Ferris wheel at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair before its creators brought it back home to Michigan.
While it would fit on a 200-foot-tall car just fine, today the 12-ton radial serves as an advertisement at Uniroyal headquarters just off I-94.
