Does anybody incorporate tire flipping in their routine if so what size do you guys use and how many lbs or kgs for those on the metric system?

Tires or tyres for those not in north america.

I was doing that with a buddy that does strongman a few months ago. Seems like the tire was like 420-450lbs. We did sets of ten flips across a parking lot as fast as possible. He said he had one that was 600+ as well, but I never tried it. The one we used wasn't much of a challenge honestly.
I know a guy at a tire store I'm going to go see this weekend he said he had some near 1000lbs. I was thinking 800lb range. I would think they'd tie into deadlifts pretty good if the weight was high enough.
800-1000lbs would probably be tough. Can you try flipping it before you buy it?
Yeah their just all laid out in a fenced in area. I figured I'd try a couple before I got one. He's giving them away so I may get two...I'm sure my wife will love em she'll probably try to paint them to make em look pretty.
lol, paint them pink with pastel flowers, tell her it's yard art.
LOL I hope she never sees that post.lmao hell I might do it anyway just to confuse the neighbors.
Maximum neighbor confusion = all kindz of gainz
I'm figuring 400-500 for one and around 800 on the bigger one. Smaller one for cardio.
I've neglected the shit out of cardio for the last couple of months been trying to have more sex but I think the wife's getting burned out on it.lol

Yeah, I wear mine out as often as she'll let me. Makes life unmanageable sometimes when you get up at the crack of dawn, too.
The tire is good cardio for sure though.

If you were lucky enough to get one with a rim or even maybe a tube you could add water and adjust the weight as needed. You could even use sack-crete to make a smaller tire heavier and the wife a bit more tolerant.
I played with the idea of adding a metal plate on each side where the rim would be and connecting with threaded rod and putting a fill cap for water.

I believe making that setup leak proof would be more trouble than it's worth. If you have the patience and a ton of time it could be made to work but finding the correct rim would save you a ton of frustration. Concrete with this setup would be the way to go.
Even a tube would be much easier. To fill a tube with water look for attachments to connect a water hose to the valve stem in farm/industrial areas. They make it simple.
Yeah that would work great. I just need to find one the right size. Everything I've read so far says to get one that's about knee level.

Trust me unless you are deadlifting 600 you ain't flipping 800+ LB tires I can deadlift 550ish and the biggest tire I've flipped is 650 it's not so much breaking the ground as it is the transition from pull to push just get a 500lber and flip it a couple extra times no need to add weight of any sort. It's going to be a HIIT cardio routine that you'll incorporate it or strongman training but either way unless you are competing in a tire flipping contest I wouldn't bother with a bigger one as one slip with the hand and it'll land on your knee and lay you on your ass
Only a donut sized tire
Like the spare found in your camry?
Oh and only P rated please...my back hurts just thinking bout it

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I'm going to try a couple Saturday and see what's going to work. I haven't tried to max out on deads in a long time but I can hit 400 for 5 haven't tried higher weight because of off and on knee pains. Theirs a whole lot of tractor tires here but from what I've read you really want one about knee high when it's on its side.
