It's been done, not always with topnotch results. I seem to remember an early 
road made with this technology (PNW?) where the rubber began composting, and 
deteriorated. See link below

  interesting ideas to toss around!

  I'm thinking of an idea that maybe somebody could invent a way to 
  incorporate used tires in roads and highways? Seems like a fitting end for 
  them.
  And that reminds me of an image I caught somewhere of a roadway that 
  transforms the vehicular action on its surface into energy.
  That would be another huge plus...
  Just thinking. Of course, wouldn't want to see a use of the tires that 
  created awful fumes of any kind, but roads and highways have already 
  devastated an area, I figure, so might be a fitting place for them to land?
