Why do people put tires on the roof of their home?
First off, the "Home and Auto" prefix works perfectly on this thread. But on to the topic.

I've been driving through a very rural area the past couple of days. Yesterday I saw a mobile home with a bunch of tires scattered on its roof. I pondered the reason and wondered if perhaps winds could cause a mobile home roof to resonate or something.

But over the past 36 hours I've seen several more homes with tires on their roof, and most of them weren't mobile homes. They were stick-and-brick homes that just happened to have numerous tires scattered on their roofs.

Why do people do this?

Could come down to the old "cut the ends off the roast" story.

The term is Roof Rumble. The tires are put on the roof to stop the metal from flexing up and down causing the rumble. To keep the roof on? LOL

Ha you guys are a couple of dickweeds! I guess I'm too busy keeping my eyes on the road, particularly down on the rez. You never know what kind of drunken riffraff is gong to decide to take up your side of the road. Man now I'm going to have to start looking around for this stuff.

Perhaps they have them up there so they can fire them up to create a diversion/smoke screen when the DEA shows up to bust their meth labs.
