We’re doing a workshop on DIY studded tires. We use up a few the extra knobbies for this event. Not enough to make a big dent in the pile, but every little bit counts.
I’m trying to find a local artist who might make use of the tires. We have donated unusable frames as materials for a bike rack designed by a local artist and installed at a community facility. I prefer to try and keep the donations local so that we know what happens to them.

As others have experienced, we (Toledo Ohio Bike Co-op) have accumulated unwanted knobby tires (typically 26x2.0) that we don't often give/reccommend for bikers in our all-flat-pavement city. Has anyone on the list looked at the best options for getting these to someone who can really use them? Is there any $ense in $hipping them to another group who will include them with a shipment to our third world brothers and sisters? Thanks, Andy-in-Toledo
