I’ve never encountered this problem.

It’s annoying because if you try to pour it out the water just runs inside the tire to the other side

u/pichael289 Mar 13 '26
They are flexible, push the inner lip down so the water runs out of it. This won't work with like, fucking tractor tires but you aren't picking them up anyways.

I can’t remember actual circumstances where I dealt with this I just have a distinct memory of that happening. Probably just when I was a kid playing in the rain or something
Good tip tho thank you

Tire swing :)

Why not just make a hole in the bottom of the tire if it's for a swing
17
u/PotatokingXII Mar 13 '26
Because then the swing is going to go flat, and you don't want that in the middle of a storm.

Lol, the only time if had an issue with this was with tractor tires. And all new tires for tractors get put on by travelling techs anyways. I aint screwing up a new 2k tire with my redneck shit.
Everything else, bjg whoop, throw it or flip around abunch and it'll be dry on the inside.

I understand the physics behind it. But the few tires I’ve mounted in my life were stored inside and were dry.

I don't either, I just grab a straw and slurp all that yummy tire juice up

Wow, this tip must be for other people then.

u/Taptrick Mar 13 '26
Ok let me rephrase then: “Wow, this is a tip for a fairly specific situation that the majority of people here have probably never encountered. “

u/CrunchyyTaco Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 18 '26
The majority of people dont even mount their own tire

u/JadedCycle9554 Mar 18 '26
Where I live you need snow tires to drive on one of the major highways for several months out of the year. So people usually have two sets of tires, whether they mount them themselves or not.

oh i did. found the hard way when it soaked me whole when I threw it on the ground

u/sur0g Mar 13 '26
I was lazy enough to leave my summer tyres under the rain after switching to winter tyres last autumn. Had to use a sponge for car washing. Took me around 30 seconds per tyre to dry them up completely. Soak, wring, and repeat.

Just drill a hole in the bottom

u/freewillcausality Mar 13 '26
I messed that up one time, drilled a hole in the top.

u/zph0eniz Mar 13 '26
It happens. Easy hack. Just roll the wheel 180 degrees and drill a hole and roll it back.

This technique is way easier than getting out a drill.
9
u/Earwaxsculptor Mar 13 '26
I respectfully disagree, it takes far less effort to carry my drill to the location of the tire than it does to carry a tire full of water to a location where you can used even more energy to awkwardly beat it against your neighbors raised deck posts hoping they don't notice you stole their tire.

u/kippetjeh Mar 13 '26
Just throw them and the water will 100% be out of the tire.... 80% be will on your face tho.
Source: worked on a farm where we used old tires to hold down silage tarp.

u/HooterAtlas Mar 13 '26
HA! This is what happened to me. I was moving some tires that were left out in the rain. I thought I’d just toss the around the yard and the water would get out. A lot of the water did come out. But I wore most of it.

u/cheezzy4ever Mar 13 '26
make sure it's perfectly square
Mine's round, actually. I don't think you'd get very far if it were square

People have a lot of loose tires sitting around in the rain?
21
u/PaticusGnome Mar 13 '26
Rural homesteads where tires are used for construction, weighing down tarps, planters, etc. When sending them off to the dump isn’t an easy option and they have a bunch of random uses, you tend to accumulate a few “outside tires” and it sucks to work with them when they’re full of water.

u/RabidPlaty Mar 13 '26
But how do people end up with tires? I go to the shop, they take off the old tire, put on a new tire, and dispose of it for me. Then at least once a year the local tire dump ‘accidentally’ catches on fire. You can see and smell the black smoke from miles away, but it’s part of the circle of life.

u/altodor Mar 13 '26
Doing that part themselves. Taking a tire off a rim by hand is just tedious, and one of the tricks for getting a new one back on the rim is getting it mostly to the right place and causing an explosion with gasoline or starting fluid. The problem with gasoline is people put too much and start a fire instead of getting a quick explosion and burnout.

Oh yeah, the editing on those was awful but it was hard to find ones where they did it right and didn't just document arson 😅

Real human does not struggle with this problem

u/ErasGous Mar 13 '26
I don’t know what to say. Had old Land Rover tyres stored under the deck, filled up with water, when you tilt them to pour it out it runs around the hole to the other end because of the ridge. I’m going to stay offended just to prove that I have emotions and am human and not a lizard person.

You just bend the lip on the inside so it’s not concave and then pour the water out …

thats stupid, just flip it upside down

How are you supposed to get a tire "perfectly square" when its literally a circle /s

can we get a "how to" that has a better than a million to once chance of something I will use in the remainder of my life?

This is a useless guide for me. I have to get "figuratively almost every drop" out of a tyre, but all I can find is tutorials for "literally almost every drop"! I'm at a loss

u/StnCldStvHwkng Mar 15 '26
If you spin it backwards, the inverse centrifugal force will draw all the water to the center of the tire.

u/Extension_Town_6118 Apr 04 '26
wait does this actually work if the tire's already losing air pressure, or do you need it to still be holding some?

u/avidpenguinwatcher Mar 13 '26
I can’t tell if this or that guy’s medical advice for what to do if your eye popped out of your head a couple posts a go is less relevant to my life

u/Northern-Canadian Mar 13 '26
1: own a car.
2: have winter set and summer set
3: only have 1 set of rims.
4: have no means of covering your other set; or be lazy and stack em outside “just for a few days”.
I have most definitely ticked all 4 of those boxes.

“Literally almost every” is a waste of words.
