My friend Tom works at the Firestone plant in Bloomington, IL. The History Channel did a segment about the enormous mining equipment tires he helps build. Pretty cool stuff.

about how mucha time they take to make a tire like this and how many they produce per day or week.Just wondering cus looks like a lot of work for a single tire. For those explorer owner a good tire for ur suv is the bfgoodrich TA/KO i have those on mine and never have a problem on wet/dry street or off road very confiable tire for suv owners(everyone have a favorite tire brand or style). Have a nice day.

I work in a CARLISLE rubber factory! We make EPDM. I saw the one guy in this video cleaning off a mill and I just wanted to say I am way better than him. I am the worlds best calender and mill operator ever. Just gotta throw that out there.
