They call me "Jonny Stubs"
You have to wrap a chain around tree and thru center of wheel for it to work. Tire has to stay against tree to take advantage of fulcrum. Keep chain loose enough tire can roll but stays close to tree.Viva la Mexico @Dukestaco
Got this stump pulled today.....tire trick failed, excavated, sawzall’d the roots, flooded the base of the tree and it’s out!

I pulled out 8 huge oliander stumps with a semi truck rim this way. Started with a semitruck tow truck first. Oleanders just caused the front wheels to lift off the ground! A huge semi truck tow truck!
Grabbed an old steel 24 in truck rim. Short chain keeping wheel close to stump. Tow cable around stump and over wheel.
Made it as easy as pulling carrots.
True story.
