Default Recycling used tires?

Is there any kind of program for recycling used rc tires? I'm new and I have 1 pair of bald rears. I don't mind keeping them around on display though.

Not as far as I know.

What you could do is add a bunch of thumbtacks or rivets and use them as snow tires, or add snow chains, or add your own thread with silicone sealant. You don't need to run nice tires in snow.

That's the sort of thing we do too. Doesn't matter if it's lawnmower engine or an old set of patio charis. We figure if it's aluminum, plastic, or steel of any sort it's fair game.
