Put Out Your Old Motor Tyre for Salvage
A worn, split motor tyre and two cracked red inner tubes fill the picture above the instruction to put the old tyre out for salvage. The poster gives the ask with no stated reason or figure, so any card-stacking is slight: the picture shows only the discarded rubber, not what it is wanted for.
