I recently took a tire off of my fruit tree and I'm curious about how long I should wait before eating the fruit. I want to make sure it's safe to consume after having that tire on there. Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, it's a bit hard to give a solid answer without knowing how the tire was actually attached to the tree. If it was just resting there, I wouldn't be worried. But if it had chemicals or residue on it, maybe let it sit for a while to be safe.
I saw a joke saying to wait until the tread marks fade away, but seriously, it might be best to let it sit for a few hours just to be cautious. Always better safe than sorry with that kind of thing!
Haha, yeah, I'll make sure to check for tire tracks before eating!
Good point! It really depends on the context of how the tire was used. Might be best to just wash the fruit thoroughly, too.
