Here's What Happens If You Replace A Tyre With Electrical Tape
Bonkers Russian YouTubers Garage 54 seem to have a thing for replacing tyres with more ghetto alternatives, don’t they? We’ve seen them use shoes, water bottles, Coke bottles and even beer cans, and they’re not done yet.
The latest tyre stand-in is made from electrical tape. 600 rolls of the stuff, to be precise. As is the norm for a Garage 54 project, the makeshift tyre does actually work, with some sizeable caveats.
Traction is an issue, and you have the obvious problem of ground clearance. But hey, if you want some stance on the cheap…yeah, actually, still don’t do this.
It also didn’t take long for the electrical tape stack to start falling off, so naturally the only thing left to do was give it a destructive send off!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That’s a lotta damage!
Once again, a fact that I didn’t need to know, but I really really wanted to know.
For the amount it probably cost to buy the tape, you probably could’ve bought a new tire. But who cares? It’s funny to watch Russians do dumb things with cars
