How It's Made Giant Tires



Where's the corny joke at the beginning?

I'm glad to see that some recycled tire rubber is used in this production. It's interesting to hear the mixture ingredients that go into the rubber - sulfur, carbon black, rubber, antioxidants, and apparently the bags that the carbon black and sulfur come in.

All of the by-hand working in the making of the tire makes me understand why it's so expensive. This one's a pretty impressive process. I think I counted about three thousand layers of rubber in the tire.

Sheesh...

And the transformation in the end - via steam-filled bladder - is just stunning.

Oh, there's the corny joke...at the end this time.
