Here's What Goes Into Repairing A $30,000 Earth Mover Tyre
Repairing a giant and exceedingly expensive earth mover tyre takes a lot of work, as this fascinating video proves!
If your tyre’s punctured, having it repaired isn’t a particularly time consuming nor complicated process. And if the worst comes to it, replacing the boot isn’t that expensive.
But what if the tyre in question - like this one from a giant earth mover - is as big as a car, and costs $30,000 on its own? We’re talking hours of scooping, buffing and patching, all of which is condensed into the weirdly fascinating video above.

Thanks for the DIY video!
Still cheaper than a Veyron tire
Been doing that on a regular basis, only tad smaller tires, but still big enough for 3 guys to barely push it.
