Pick a good tire from a passenger car, preferably without reinforcement. The thinner is the material, the easier it will be to turn and look, this product will be smoother. Protector is better to choose a straight line, and not semicircular.

To Swan by making the following markup. At the end of the tire , draw a long neck ending with a head and beak. Total neck length of about 50 cm In the place where the end of the beak, draw a forked tail in inverted M (nose neatly fits into the Central hollow). The length of the beam M letters of about 15-20 cm In internal diameter on both sides along the length of the neck draw the line 5-6 cm from the edge. It will be approximately half the diameter of the tires.
