It's not a Russian only thing. My father and his family did this in the 50's, 60's, and early 70's in the north east USA. The only difference is they made the screws/nails stick out of the tire to add more traction, like tire studs.
Lol i was thinking this is basically how they retread tires. Only this looks alot stronger. You could have a bald tire under there and have a winter one or regular tire to put on top. Its like a reinforced innertube. I bet it makes your tire alot heavier though.
@@robertbogan225 maybe an option to let off road guys save their* tires and keep it legal on their way to the mountains? Ive thought of a couple decent ideas to fine tune it and make it easier to do. May be some money involved there ;)
I'm still curious what it would be like to drive with solid forklift tires. Only you can do this, because until today no one has tried this before. And I would be very grateful to see that experience being made by you. Thank you.
Or those "tires" seen on some smaller farm implements that are basically just a bunch of rubber flaps glued together. But I suppose you could call those solid tires as well.
Let's get this project finished while there's still plenty of snow. Oh yeah , I'm in Russia there's always plenty of snow . Garage 54 Where ARRRe YoUUU!
This is how my grandad made tractor tires for his homemade tractor, like 40years ago. He didnt use screws though, just found the perfect upper layer tire to fit perfectly. It works really well!
I've done something similar for a mountain bicycle winter tire. Except cutting off the bead of the smaller inner tire to protect the tube. Put that inside the normal bigger tire. But then have screws pointing out of the outer normal bicycle tire. Know what I mean? I'll have to try your take on the outer dual tire this winter. Great idea's you do always have! What if for the outer tire you angle the flap with wire or cut and seam so it forms a scoop. Like on a Sand Drag Car! That would kick mountains of snow, eh? Keep the great video's coming. Thank you from Canada!
I love Garage54 videoss! Your notifications are more precious than my Moskwich :) your voiceover guy needs a raise, he is sooo good considering that my russian level is absolute zero :)
@@andreww.6283 I have the 412 model. It was my dad family car but after that he bought a Dacia and the Moskvich just sits in the yard. It's been over 10 years since nobody started it or moved it or...anything. Maybe one day I will be rich enough to restore it :)
Cut small sections out of the bead and add a chain tightener. Now you can remove/install it quickly as well as keeping it tight. EDIT: I should have said, extend the cut-out sections in one direction clear through the bead.
Love your channel. Much of what you do is "That's really crazy" but I'll admit: many of us wrench-turners sometimes think of "what if we did that" and find it on your channel and completely enjoy what we see (even when it doesn't work as expected). This one looks like one of the "an extreme thing to do but it works, so we'll keep it in mind" kind of deal. Whatever you think of, just keep it coming: we'll be watching.
here in the USA some of us Demo Derby drivers do this with the doubling of the tires and use Inner tubes. if you can get the tires to both seal the beads, you might have something also.
BMI Russian You do a great job mate. You are the only reason I can watch these videos. Garage 54 I love your videos. You are the only channel that I've seen doing quirky and awesome things with cars. I just subbed yesterday because of this.
A genius idea really. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually used this concept commercially and made some serious money as a result. Of course it could not have the appearance of being home made. I would have to assume there would be a practical manufacturing method behind production of such tires.
Reminds me of when we used to use screws on tires from the inside out so we could ride our bikes on ice. Riding a mountain bike on a sheet of ice is hella fun BTW.
In the United States people run doubled tires in demolition derby for toughness and extra protection. Use the same rim size but with a higher and wider profile for the outside tire. Make sure both tire beads are I side the rim and the outer tire will seal at the bead. You may need a tube. It's a pretty tough job getting it all together but it will work.
You guys are geniuses. I would never have thought of this. What about smooth carriage bolts on the inside, nuts and washers with silicone for sealing. Might be a good idea to put a tube inside too.
In the southern U.S. this is a po-boy mud tire. When a tire gets a bad enough gash to not be repairable stick a tire inside of it that is the same size and air it up to get the rest of the life out of the good tread. We have done this on the farm for years for ground driven rakes and other ground driven implements as well.
Yeah, make some tire strips, about 4" wide, attach to ratchet straps, and wheels like 5 spoke wheels, they can be strapped to the rim, on steel wheels, they can be attached to each other, like traditional chains, could be the next best thing to chains, and easier to use, and can keep them on all winter if ya wanted! Cool!!! I'm starting manufacturing now!! Ha!!
Real awesome content, keep it up n thanks! Also could you do a vid of car with double suspension, with a shock absorber with springs attached to another shock absorber by arm and see how comfortable it is over rough road
Fill em with spray foam/ construction foam.. is a good idea there for all the damn tires that sit around places waiting to get turned into something else..
As a tyre fitter years ago i pulled a full ford ignition key out of a tyre that made it right through, a good enough nail will easy make it through 2 tyres easy.
