caption_attribution_description: English: The big Uniroyal tire just outside of Detroit on I-94 East.
context_page_description: 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 served as a static display in Allen Park, Michigan, alongside Interstate 94, between the Southfield Freeway interchange and Outer Drive overpass.
context_section_description: Conflicting reports credit the structure as being 80 feet (24.4 m), 83 feet (25.3 m), and 86 feet (26.2 m) tall.
  It weighs 12 short tons (11 t), is anchored in 24 feet (7.3 m) of concrete and steel, and can withstand hurricane-force winds.
  The exterior tire tread is 6 inches (15 cm) deep, with an interior volume of 120,576 cubic feet (3,414.3 m³). It is not made of rubber, but of a Uniroyal-developed polyester resin reinforced with glass fiber, which makes it flame resistant.
  It is the largest non-production tire scale model ever built, and one of the world's largest roadside attractions.
