Rubber Tire
The Rubber Tire is a classic, rugged loop of flexible material once central to ground-based travel. Now, it’s a multi-purpose item used in transport chassis, obstacle courses, and sometimes just burned for warmth or smoke cover.
It creaks when rolled. Thuds when thrown. Smells faintly like apocalypse mixed with asphalt and a hint of ozone depletion.
Recovered from junkyards, burnt-out cars, and forgotten racing arenas.
