If you will, please permit me to help with your English lessons.
How can I determine nylon from rubber in car tires, (tyres, UK)
What can be done with the rubber, and is rubber needed, (necessary).
I want to know more about recycling car tyres. What is a simple way?
(In my English). Nylon is commonly used in the side walls of tires, while rubber is used as the tread. Nylon is stronger and more resistant to damage, as well as more more suitable for "tubeless tires" in order to hold high pressure inflation.
Rubber is more suitable for the tread in "gripping" the pavement, it's "skid resistance", and stopping capabilities.
Car tires are already being recycled in the USA.
They are being ground and mixed with asphalt for road surfaces.
One difficulty in recycling tires is the "steel" that is used in the sidewalls to reinforce the nylon. These are called "Steel Belt Tires".
Another use for tires is to chain or attach them together and placed off shore to create a habitat for fish and other sea life.

Unfortunatley, car tyres are a major problem for recycling mainly due to the huge amount used- hence the tyre mountains. They don't burn cleanly, they don't decay easily and there's not much can be done economically with them.
They can be used to make shoes, chopped up and used in making some resilient products like playground surfacing but not many are recycled and retreads are even illegal in some countries. There is even a reference to turning them in to printer ink, but I can't see that exactly using up a huge amount.
I have seen houses built from them- they are used to build the walls by laying the types and then filling with earth but that obviously depends on the climate.
There is also a picture of a Thailand bin made from a recycled tyre.

lots.........and the traction administration, maneuvering and dealing with could be tremendous, given it really is meant objective......and the radial bias contained in the tire condoms could be warranted for no less than 20 thousand miles, or a blowout, whichever comes first.......or could that be "whomever" ???
