You know what the core charge on a bald tire is? It's negative. If you wanna give them back to the shop that changed your tires you pay them, not the other way around. And they sit in a pile out back until someone gets paid to take them all away. Some of them get recycled properly but there's no shortage of people who are happy being paid money to take a truck load of used tires from a tire shop and dump them on their property as fill. Core charges as you're describing them don't work for items the manufacturers can't economically recondition and therefore don't want back.
