What size trash bags are best for wheels and tires?

Like the title says, what size trash bags are best for wheels and tires?

I have a set of wheels (with tires) and a set of tires I need to move tomorrow and I want to put them in bags to try to save my silly beige interior and the bags I have now are too small.

I use 3 mil thick "Contractor grade" bags from Lowes. HomeDepot have similar Husky brand bags. My tires are 245-40-18. They fit inside fine but a bit tight. I believe these bags are 42 gallons. So I wouldn't buy anything smaller than that.

You're welcome You actually don't need 3 mil bags for that. 1 mil will work fine IMHO. I just like that extra robustness

I was actually thinking about getting 5 mil. We'll see what I find at home depot.

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind for next time. It's a little too late for that now. Thanks for the tip.

Just use regular garbage bags (42 gallon bags or whatever they are).

I ended up grabbing a box of extra large 45 gallon bags. They are only 1 mil bit I think they will do just fine. Even though they are a bit thinner, they are bigger and cheaper than the contractor bags they were a few bucks less and higher quality. With the added size I think they will fit a bigger tire as well which will be useful in the future as long as I don't lose the box somewhere.

I thought I would be able to find some big 5 mil bags but I guess I need to order those from ULINE or something.

It might be worthwhile to invest in some wheel totes.

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig ****, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
