Tire Shoulder Armor - Left is a homemade pauldron of tire rubber strapped over the left shoulder. It guards the upper torso against bites and scratches. It is part of the crafted tire armour set.
Its main strength is that it lasts longer than most crafted shoulder armour. Its main cost is weight, at 3, and the fact that it cannot be worn with a backpack. It is crafted with Tailoring and Maintenance skills, and late-game survivor safehouses hold one rarely. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Tire Shoulder Armor - Left stops about half of all bites and scratches on the upper torso. It is worn for protection rather than warmth.
It slows attacks by 5 percent. It is uncomfortable to wear.
The Wooden and Bone Shoulder Armor give the same protection at a third of the weight. Metal and Scrap Metal Shoulder Armor protect better, stopping more bites and most scratches. The tire piece trades weight for durability. It loses condition on only about one hit in five, while the right-hand tire piece loses it on about every second hit.
It takes the Left Shoulder Pad slot. That blocks backpacks and other bags on the back, webbing, bulletproof vests, shoulder holsters, sport shoulder pads, breathing masks and full suits.
Tailoring
Tire Shoulder Armor - Left is immune to holes.
The "Research Craft" inventory option on it teaches the whole tire set: Make Tire Forearm Armor, Make Tire Shin Armor, Make Tire Shoulder Armor - Left, Make Tire Shoulder Armor - Right and Make Tire Thigh Armor.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Tire Shoulder Armor - Left and teaches the recipes below.
