German term or phrase: Pneu ab Linie
Appears in context: "Drehwerfen (Pneu ab Linie)" The first part I have rendered as "Rotary Throwing", which I hope exists!

tyre from line
Explanation:
You haven't given the context, but this is an athletics routine that involves throwing bicycle tyres.

All the references I've found are PDFs that I can't cut and paste, but a quick Google will confirm this:

Since English-speaking readers probably won't be familiar with this exercise, it might be best to specify that it's a bicycle tyre and not a car tyre.

agree  Lancashireman: Full marks for spelling, Phil. I can’t see the merit of using the verb ‘tire’ (= exhaust) instead of the unambiguous noun ‘tyre’.
