My tire engineer friend is pretty adamant that tires cant be recycled into new tires, but thats ok because yokohama has replaced petroleum oil in their "Avid Ascend" tire line with orange oil, as in the oils extracted from disguard orange peels.
There is clearly a much bigger market for used tires now then there was 20 years ago.
