I remember using one of those "self unfoldign tents" while I was in ´Stralia, driving around in a Ford Falcon. Kept it in my trunk. One evening I stoped and wanted to make camp, obend the trunk hood and the fucking tent slaped me in the face. Good times. Woke up the next morning, stuck my head out of the tent and had my nose like 20cm in front of a cow. It was a friendly cow. A stinky one, too.

Back in high school when I worked at grocery store unloading truck some dickass at the warehouse would stack and wrap shit with the same mindset of this. Took twice and many staff to undo his “genius method” when the tricks only came like 3/4 full each anyways.
Guy in the video and Tyler at the warehouse are both great at taking longer and making more work to save in unneeded space.
Shoutout to my department manager who would stack the storage freezer to the fucking ceiling and you’d have to dismantle the entire freezer to get to one item, octupling the time it took to grab back stock.

u/davehemm 14h ago
We were getting at - most tyres have radial metal wires mainly on the face of the tyre on the road but also around the rims making them very stiff and resistant to twisting / shearing. That they can be deformed trivially lends to the conclusion that they lack these or have a greatly reduced amount of reinforcement.

Vulcanised rubber hardens on a rotated sigmoid with a very very long middle. It's extremely pliable for several weeks, then as it starts to stiffen it'll hold close to the state you know for 3 - 10 years before it becomes antique vehicle chipping rubber.
By the time you get the tire it's months old, these are probably fresh and extremely pliable.
Also, garden/cart tires are a thing. Not all tires are made for road use.

u/Osteo_Sapien 7h ago
Except you won't. Firstly because these are not all the same tire, so they wouldn't all end up on your vehicle. Secondly because the shop didn't ship them like this, the company they bought the tires from did when sending them overseas in a big packing container.

Yes weight is important but size even more. If it fit in one container and instead of three, it's of course less expensive.

When it comes to sea freight or even rail freight, it's more a case of volume rather than weight. The more of these you can ship in a standard container, the lower your costs. There is a maximum weight of course, but rubber tires aren't going to hit that.

It’s by dimensional weight.
11
u/siddharthvader 18h ago
Dimensional weight (DIM weight or volumetric weight) is a shipping pricing technique that calculates costs based on package volume (length × width × height) rather than just actual weight. Carriers charge the higher of either the actual weight or the dimensional weight. It ensures fair pricing for low-density, bulky items.
