How can I put a dozen or so old tyres to use?

[Phil Pascoe]

Doesn't help the OP, but I have a couple of old tyres still on rims, and people seem to cut round one sidewall and turn the main part inside out to use them like decorative urns as planters. Keep meaning to try, but like others, not sure about cutting. Fine tooth blade in a jigsaw?

No, the reinforcing wires are too hard even for a metal cutting blade.

Someone had dumped them up the road and I instinctively thought I would make a use for them but now I cannot think of a good use for them.

What could they be used for?

Only possibles I have read which may suite from online so far are making a roof or for composting receptacles. For a roof I might be concerned about the toxins they put into making the tyres as they are not recommended for planting vegetables due to off-gassing these toxins so wonder of the same would be the case with a roof?

I feel these tyres are kind of toxic compared to my aim for green and natural stuff on my land! I was a bit hasty in taking them and would not be simple to get rid of them now so would be good to find a use for them that I deem acceptable and useful.

Hmm, I actually have some gravel on order to drop down on the mud to be able to park. Would they be useful as a ground barrier around the area to slow the grass and other weeds in the surrounding area from coming over to the gravel parking space?

Or, since the land is boggy and they are a waterproof barrier, can they be used to shore up channels for irrigation?

Grow potatoes in them. Stack up one at a time as the leaves reach the surface, add another tyre and top up with soil. When time for harvesting remove each tyre as you pick the potatoes.

you could strap them around the outside of your car (like they do with fishing boats) then you could be less careful when in the supermarket car park

You could, like Kris Harbour, whose Youtube you referenced on your other thread, try to use them as foundations for your hut.
