A tire is hooked onto the rope's end. The end of the rope feature's a tire.What you're looking at is a tire swing.
Swings made from tires represent the unique western form of ruggedness. The farm stands alone, surrounded by fields. The farmer together with his family do what they need to do just to get by.They need little help from anyone else. The farm has been passed within each family heirloom hence they have always known how to get by each and every day.
Through the ages, tire swings have always stood for something. If you have watched western movies, there are probably scenes where you might see a polka dotted lady swinging on a tire swinging. There might also have been some young man standing behind her giving her a gentle push. You might have seen a different movie of a child swinging on the tire swing, very happy and having fun swinging with outstretched legs.
