Which year?

Ill take a wild guess and say LEGO, ill take another wild guess (yeah right!) and estimate they make approximately 306 million tiny rubber tyres a year, making it the world’s No. 1 tyre manufacturer.

The internet is a wonderful thing. (hint hint)

Looks like someone didn't know the answer

Nice one with the Lego, I probably would have said Goodyear or something.

Lego

The LEGO Group produces 15 billion components a year - that’s 28,500 a minute. The factory also produces 306 million tiny rubber tyres a year, making it the world’s No. 1 tyre manufacturer.

Re: I will give you three guesses

Lego is correct. I dont suppose there was much point to the question johnscarlet, other than a bit of fun, so please feel free to delete anymore stupid questions I ask.

McDonalds or Kentucky Fried chicken, but only if you include 'spare tyres'

Or perhaps Watneys or Guiness.


Watneys Red Barrel, ahhh those were the days.

Watneys eh? Your right those were the days, had to make sure you put two openings in it to get it going.Also it was a good reason to drink the whole lot, cos it would not keep till the next day. Hc! Hic!
