The Tire Piece is a thick slab of rubber cut from a car tire. It is the base material for tire armour, a tough improvised armour made with Tailoring and Maintenance.
Tire pieces become armour for every part of the body. The Make Tire Body Armor recipe, the Make Tire Forearm Armor recipe and the Make Tire Shin Armor recipe are the main ones. Thigh and shoulder pieces are made the same way. A single piece also makes a pair of Tire Sandals.
Every piece comes from cutting up a whole tire. A metal saw or bolt cutters do the work by hand, and a Metal Bandsaw does it as a station. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Tire armour takes a lot of tools. Each recipe keeps a sharp knife, a drill, a wrench, a sewing needle, an awl and a metal saw or bolt cutters. Each also uses heavy thread, Leather Strips and Nuts and Bolts.
The limb pieces take one Tire Piece each. The Make Tire Forearm Armor recipe and the Make Tire Shin Armor recipe need Tailoring level 3 and Maintenance level 2. They also use two Buckle each. The Make Tire Thigh Armor recipe needs Tailoring level 3 and Maintenance level 3. The two shoulder recipes, left and right, need Tailoring level 4 and Maintenance level 3.
The Make Tire Body Armor recipe is the largest. It takes two Tire Piece, four Leather Strips and four Nuts and Bolts. It needs Tailoring level 6 and Maintenance level 5.
The Make Tire Sandals recipe is the easiest use. It takes one piece, two Leather Strips, two Buckle and thread, with Tailoring level 1 and Maintenance level 1.
How to Get Tire Piece
The Cut Up Tire recipe cuts a whole tire into four Tire Piece and one Scrap Metal. It needs a metal saw or bolt cutters, which are kept. The work also needs Strength level 4.
The Cut Up Tire With Bandsaw recipe gives the same four pieces and Scrap Metal at a Metal Bandsaw. It needs no Strength level. Tire pieces are not found as loot.
