RR Auction's Remarkable Rarities sale, which ends on Sept. 25, 2021, includes Lot 8037, an STS-105 flown tire.

Main landing tire flown to orbit onboard Space Shuttle Discovery (OV-103) / STS-105 from August 10-22, 2001. The 44.5 x 16.0-21 size tire is one of six (including two smaller nose landing gear tires) onboard the Discovery orbiter that decelerated the 220,000 pound spacecraft from its 250 MPH landing speed to a full stop on the Kennedy Center Space Shuttle Landing Facility’s 15,000 foot long runway.
