When we bought our cabin, the one thing my son asked for was if we could have a tire swing there. Considering there was no "playground" type stuff there for the kids, we wanted to have some things to help entertain them outside in addition to exploring nature.
We asked a local tire shop if we could get a used tire from them and then we got some old leftover boat rope and bought a small U-Bolt (98-cents at Lowe's) to help secure the tied rope. You could go without the bolt, but my husband wanted to make sure it didn't come loose or untied.

There are a lot of those around here. I live in the country. Always a winner.
We set up our own tire swing, and reading this post reminded us of that experience. To make installation simple, we selected a sturdy tire swing rope from https://treeswingstore.com/tire-swing-rope/. The kids' delight and exhilaration during their 360-degree turn were quite remarkable. It's incredible how much fun and enduring memories can be made from such a classic project.
