Our old (I mean 'former', haha) neighbors in Nashville gave us a used PowerWheels jeep before we moved. The kids loved it, except that the tread had worn off the wheels, and most of the time the wheel just spun and the jeep didn't go anywhere. I finally got tired of pushing the kids around every time they got stuck (which was a lot). Instead of following my urge to trash the thing, I took an old bike tire, cut the tread off, and attached it to the powered wheel with drywall screws. It worked like a charm. There's nothing like using a little bit of ingenuity to save a bunch of money and provide some great fun at the same time.
