I found this in another forum.

“Go to a tire store and ask them for five spare tires all of the same dimensions. Then connect them together by drilling through the side walls and placing a bolt to hold each tire together. Finally, put some weight into the base. One method is to put a board along the base and then pour concrete in to the bottom tire. Walla, you can kick it, hit it with a stick, etc. Cost will be less than $10.00 plus an afternoon of labor.”

Do any of you think this would be realistic for training Muay Thai kicks?

In my gym, we have some tires for kicking, but it is only one tire attached vertically to a pole. It is fairly similar to kicking a leg. It does not seem like kicking a stack of horizontal tires would do the trick.
