Tire Swing is an obstacle first introduced as the fourth obstacle in American Ninja Warrior 7 in Orlando.

It consisted of a mini trampoline, a suspended pole, and three suspended tire-shaped circles.

Competitors must use the mini trampoline to reach the pole. From there, competitors must use their upper body to navigate the tires. The first tire would swing freely, the second would tilt in all directions with weight on it, and the last one would tip backwards. The top of the third tire was covered with a cap, so the competitors must grab the inside from underneath. Once at the third tire, they must swing and make a 6-foot (1.83-meter) dismount to the landing platform to advance.

During Orlando qualifiers, the obstacle ended the runs of several competitors who attempted it such as Devin Harrelson, Kavon Sadler, Emily Durham, Jonathan Ruiz, William Brown, Kevin Jordan, Casidy Marks, Tiffany Stewart, Mike Wright and Stephen France. Most competitors were unable to firmly grip the second tire, and as such came up short when making the transitions. During Orlando finals, it claimed Jon Alexis Jr. and Chad Hohn as its two victims.

The obstacle ultimately became the cut-off for advancing to Oklahoma City finals. However, no competitor failed on this obstacle during Oklahoma City finals.

Australian Ninja Warrior's Tyre Swing to Cargo Net

The Tire Swing (stylized as Tyre Swing due to two types of spelling) appeared as the fourth obstacle in Heat 1 on Australian Ninja Warrior. However, only the first tyre was kept, and a cargo net was presented latter. Competitors must swing from the rope and grabbed the tire, then build enough swing and momentum to make the transition to the cargo net, and finally reached the landing platform to advance. Therefore, this obstacle was renamed to Tyre Swing to Cargo Net.
