Where Do Tires Go When They Die?
Given tires have a limited service life I'm wondering what happens to them when there done. I understand they can be retreaded several times but even these are limited and I presume they are eventually scrapped and either shredded to make new tires or dumped in landfill.
The reason I'm asking is I'm working on a garden sculpture and would like 2 747 tires (or similar) and was hoping I may be able to pick up a decommissioned set. I live in Australia and tried calling QANTAS but not having any contacts in the industry I did not get far. Would anyone know how I would go about getting a pair?
Thanks,
Slarti.
