No not the Rack you guys want to see but I have been thinking about making a Tire Rack for awhile now ! Got board and Raining ,Snowing and sleeting out :O so got off my butt , Not perfect by any means but works and with screws and 8 2x4s 30$ , Would have cost me less if I used my recycled wood from the old deck but just couldn't go used wood

If anyone wants to make one dimension would help lol Width 4 ft, Depth 28". First had 32" but tire sat more on the edge of the 2x4.. at 28" sits on more of the 2x4 . On a commercial made rack the average is 28 1/2"

I have 8 summer and 8 winter tires for my RAM and HHR . and the tires were always on the floor taking up space. Now the footprint is the same as 4 tires but hold 8 so I win lol I still may tweak the depth to make it a bit thinner, BUT that is when I get bored again lol

Nice rack!
It's nice that you shared your rack with us. Some guys don't like it when other guys check out check out their rack.
