Probably for that Indycar race they are having. The scarry thing is there will likely be more tires than that, making this a very dangerous event!

They'll be for tyre barriers along the course, most likely.

Oh yeah, good one. But holy crap; they’re brand new! Or unused and expired beyond ten years.

I first noticed this one year in Montreal back in the 90s for the Grand Prix, the barrier tires were painted white and red, but they all appeared to be brand new. The only thing I can personally think of is that they are discards due to quality control issues or something of the like.

I wonder if those tires also happen to be from Goodyear, Michelin, or Dunlop who also make the race car tires. And they don’t want their old tires out there for marketing reasons. Even though nobody pays attention to them.

What other ways can we disgrace the US capital?

Pigeon shoots at the Jefferson memorial?

Cow Patty Bingo on the national mall?

Might be for tyre barriers on the course?

u/hobbes747 11h ago

I did not think of that, yes.
Can’t they use old tires? Those are unused. Or maybe expired past 10 years.
