Uniroyal Tire - Snowstorm Was able to snap a shot of the World's Largest Tire as I drove by on I-94, because there was a huge snowstorm. [Denise Manfredi, 03/06/2011][RA: If you had four of those all-weathers you sure wouldn't be sitting in blizzard traffic!]

World's Largest Tire The tire is easy to get to from the Baker College parking lot, just off Outer Drive in Allen Park. At the western edge of the parking lot, there is a dirt road that leads to the tire. If you trust the makeshift bridge over a creek you can drive right up to it. Otherwise, it is a short hike.
