US Rubber Co built a Ferris wheel into this oversize tyre for the 1964 NY World's Fair. The 80-86' tyre, without its 24 four-person Ferris wheel seats, was relocated to what was a Uniroyal sales office in 1966; Uniroyal/Goodrich were sold to Michelin in 1990.
The Uniroyal Giant Tire was created by the United States Rubber Company for the 1964 New York World's Fair, where it functioned as a Ferris wheel. Since 1966 it has been a static display alongside Interstate 94 in Allen Park, Michigan, United States between the Southfield Freeway interchange and Outer Drive overpass.
