I pulled up as three rough necks tossed old tires into the back of their pick up truck for disposal.When I asked if they had any tires they wanted to get rid of, they gave me a funny look. I told them I wanted an old used tire they were going to throw out. They gave me a nice SUV tire which I cleaned...
