So long as you use Bias ply tire, them Radial ones might interfere with your Garmin  Heck you could even make some from some mud grips for real " rough " dogs  |

It sounds pretty heavy and stiff and I'd be worried about rubbing sores on the dogs. What kind of tire were you thinking of using?

I saw a guy that makes em out of mud flaps. Give it a shot. You'll never know if it works if you don't try. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk |

the mud flap material might work well... but you should put something between that and the dog's neck so that it doesn't rub the dog raw

A riding lawn mower tire with the side walls cut out, brass rivets, and a couple nylon collars, will work. It doesn't rub the dogs neck.
My advice: Save your money and buy a cut collar. I have replaced most of my homemade cut gear in the last year.
