What do you guys do with your old tires?
Do you recycle them? Trash them? or have a creative way to get some use out of them?

Who said anything about asking? I just put them in there; the recycling plant is at the garbage dump, so if they can't recycle it, they can easily trash it.

When my mountain bike tires where down, I cut them and put them on the bottom of a shoe for long boarding. Not much else to do with an old tire....
