Video of a man showing the bite strength of a white tiger Solano. The tiger nearly bit through the bull skull completely and detached the horns only with bites:

Captive tiger flinging human mannequin like a ragdoll, with just its jaws:

Sorry to say this, but that tyre in first video.... it was bare tyre without steel wheel and not at all difficult to lift. 400 pounds already is exaggeration. 70-150 lbs might be quite close for front tyres of tractor depending about model.

Strength of animals is interesting topic, but realism is needed also. Back tyres of tractors are then different thing.

Actually tires are quite heavy, back in my strongman training days we used to flip a few different tires, our large tire which we named "junk" because it was so beat up is 900lbs, we used to flip another that was 750lbs, both larger than the Tire the tiger is flipping but still, that tire is large and could be around the 400lb mark, or close to it.
Tigers are big, they'll make large tires look smaller but I've seen enough of them to compare there usually size with that tire and I wouldn't be surprised if it's around 400lbs.

That tire was just about a meter high, you can see it when it is there with that tiger. So max. 150 lbs. Back tyres of tractors are heavier, and I have seen quite a few tractors and tyres for those. So nowhere near pf 400 lbs.

You can check weights also from some manufacturers if you don´t believe me, many sites have also information about tyre weights. But just look at tiger shoulder height and tyre, that tyre was not "heavy weight".

Tigers are 3'-4' at the shoulder and that tire is taller than the Tiger even when the Tiger has it's head raised, so it'll be taller than a meter most likely.
But it doesn't have the girth of the Tractor Tires so I agree, it's probably more along the 150-200lb range. Reply
