- mikeloeb 12y agoI keep hearing the "there would be fewer cars" claim, but my counter-claim is that the mileage would be the same, so wear and tear would be the same. Look at how quickly taxis decay to see this. Furthermore, I looked up reuses for tires. There is already a large, multi-stage chain of reuses and recycling for them, for all kinds of applications, from burning for cement kilns to civil engineering and agricultural products.[0] [1] [2] As one article put it "Those same characteristics, which make waste tires such a problem, also make them one of the most re-used waste materials" [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_recycling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_recycling [1] http://www.designrulz.com/product-design/2012/12/20-ideas-of-how-to-reuse-and-recycle-old-tires/ http://www.designrulz.com/product-design/2012/12/20-ideas-of...
