Much more mechanized than When I lived 16 miles West of Akron. Lots of men in town worked at the big three companies there in the "rubber capital of the world". The guys would smell like an old tire but made much better money than other factory workers. Of course, the unions priced their workers right out of jobs and I think the only tires made in Akron now, are a few racing tires.

Karl, Can you tell us how a tire is destroyed?

The 600#s of torque my RAT motor made would do it but I don't even try with my teeny-meenie SBF. But, I can do a good job of it with a rock on the side of the road
