Pretty much, I mainly use mine in summer time. And even then it depends on my goals at that given time. Winter I can't use it anyways. I also have a sledge hammer i beat the thing with between tire flips, good all around work out. But honestly with a tire that heavy it gets in the way with recovery of other things, so really it ends up being what are my goals. Sadly though I don't know if having a big huge tire next to your house is all that appealing when you only use it a handful of times a year.
