Don’t know if they still do it but they used to shred them and use them on playgrounds instead of woodchips. Alot less splinters!
Soles for shoes! I had a pair that utilized that. Very comfy and I was super fast. Supposed to last for 60,000 miles.
During the spring and summer we paint old tires, fill with potting soil and use them as planters up and down the block. Very effective!
Fill them up with water and let them sit. Start your own mosquito farm!
Paint them white, bury them halfway in the ground one next to another, and you have a red neck fence.
Did just this, big Tractor tire in which I completely fit inside without bending much, I was probably 10 years old, didnt break my back, was fun AF. I WOULD TOTALLY NOT LET MY KIDS DO THIS, was fun for me, not for the next dude who was not able to remain inside and got YEETED and got a good 1 to 2 seconds of air time. He didnt break his back either but I 100% consider both of us lucky.
That’s why they call it “rubber cement”
Growing potatoes. Start with one tire and the potatoes start growing inside the tire and the plant grows up and out ,stack another tire and the same thing happens. Just keep adding soil in the center.
When harvesting the potatoes are all in the tires.
That’s recycling year after year.
Check out my suggestion, if you enjoy growing your own veggies!
I think my local park has its pathways made from recycled rubber. I wish recycling in general was easier and cheaper so we’d see more of it.
Throw them on your roof so the shingles don’t blow
or tires
Ihave wondered if they could be cut in “tiles” to make a roof.
Growing stuff has already been suggested, but nobody suggested Turing them inside out first!

recycled into playground mats, or used to supplement new asphalt roadways.
Absolutely! Easy hilling for taters. I’ve had potatoes run 3 feet from where they were ‘suposed’ to be. Ugh!
