I just converted an old set of tires to some DIY studded snow tires.
We only get snow a few weeks out of the year here and I just couldn't
bring myself to purchase some. These old tires were perfect for that
and it might snow this weekend.

This is pretty interesting. If I may, a few suggestions to consider:
* Make it publicly searchable (sans personally identifying information of

* Add a Sell Date field
* Add By previous owner selection to the Assembled-by field
* Make the Model field a drop down
* Make the Size/Number
