I hope he paid you to have them? Apparently the garages pay £1 per tyre to get rid of them

90p a tyre is a good reason.

an option  (now i am joking here honestly ::)   ) stack them on top of each other  insert un-ruley child = peace and quiet for hours   :innocent:   also good for weighing down plastic sheets on top of large composts  to build up the heat inside :)
