The Uniroyal Tire was initially a Ferris wheel at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, designed to carry over two million people before being relocated to Michigan.
Standing at 80 feet tall, the Uniroyal Tire is a towering roadside attraction visible from the nearby highway.
The tire is constructed from a steel framework covered with fiberglass, designed to withstand the elements.
In 1998, a giant nail was added to the tire as part of a marketing campaign, which was later removed in 2003.
The tire weighs approximately 12 tons, making it a substantial structure despite its hollow interior.
The tire symbolizes the automotive heritage of Michigan, a state known for its significant contributions to the car industry.
