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?
