Tires

Tires....

They are flippin' expensive. It's time to re-shoe the truck and the prices are coming in around $1200. It was only a short 2.5 years ago I had to fork out the last $1200. That's $40 a month.... Ouch

Here's the question, where is all the spent rubber from all these tires on our roads. There's 5 tire stores within 2 miles in any direction in any city. Where does all the worn rubber go? I don't see it piled up on the sides of the road! I don't hear it washing into our water ways, I don't hear of it as airborne pollution. It can't be building up on the road surface as we would never have to repave. Where does it go?
