What is there to know about tire tracks?

Tire Tracks came about from the realization that there are some really interesting images and photographs that have come about because of tires.

I decided to collect as many of these as I could find, and I'd really like to encourage you to share anything you might come across which you like.

This is mainly a visual area but any detail and story behind your discovery or creation will be welcomed too.

If you contribute something which you created, please give us the details of the brand, type and size of tire which was involved if you can, and any other details which you think will help us appreciate and understand what you came up with.

Ahh! Fresh fallen snow just beckons some people to leave their marks. These tracks in fresh snow was captured on film.
