World's Largest Tire I was so excited to find this! I rode on the tire as a Ferris Wheel, as a kid at the 1964/1965 NY Word's Fair! It's not lit at night.

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.
