tire swing

Rubber circle seat

A tire swing is a swing made from a rubber tire suspended by rope or chain from a tree branch or frame.

Associated with rural or suburban childhood play, it evokes simpler, homemade recreation: The old tire swing still hung from the oak tree.

The tire typically hangs horizontally or vertically, spinning and swaying in ways traditional swings cannot.
