Welcome to the Flying Tires web page.  Flying Tires is a post-industrial game for men that is somewhat similar to the pre-industrial game of horseshoes,

 

To play Flying Tires, tire sidewalls are thrown at a pin (or other marked point) on the ground 25' to 30' distant. After 4 sidewall tosses, a score is tallied. There are 3 ways to score points: Ringers (3 points), Hits (2 points), and Touchers (1 point).

​

Just as with the game of horseshoes when it was first played, there is no need to purchase anything to play Flying Tires. Instead, you just cut yourself 4 flying tire sidewalls out of two old tires. A couple of 16-penny nails with a bit of bright "flagging" serve as target pins. 

​

Flying Tires can be played on grass, gravel, blacktop, or even on packed snow.

​

The game of Flying Tires was invented by Herrick Kimball in 2020 and introduced to the world in a YouTube video on July 27, 2021. You can watch the 15-minute video below and learn how the game is played.

The goal with the Flying Tires game is to encourage the gathering of men for wholesome fun and fellowship around a simple, inexpensive, challenging, and manly sport.
