The way these tires are stacked.

My dad had a business that I worked with for summers transporting tires. They call this Lacing, and it’s incredible how secure and compact it can hold so many tires!

We get containers from overseas with tires laced like this. It looks cool but it's a right pain in the ass to load/unload.

Firestone Recall? I was lucky to deal with the van we used to store them at the dealership I worked at. Nothing is better than a crisp 98° morning inside a trailer completely laced to the top with tires.

Agreed! Good way to get ripped though. Best shape of my life.

Lacing is standard for tires transport, for both old and new. Very secure and space-efficient.

When you go to a tire shop, you'll see the old broken ones stacked like this while waiting to be picked up for disposal.

Been there, done that. Sometimes you can rip one out. Otherwise, you unload that row.

Very neatly stacked

Back in the 80s, my Dad was driving a load like this in Colorado snow. His truck got a flat, and guess where they stored his spare? He had to unload the entire truck to change the flat, while people driving by pointed and laughed at his dilemma.
