  My S.O.'s sport is equestrian.  She is what's called a "3 Day Event" rider
and has a cross-country horse-course built on our property.

 She has many jumps fpr her horses,  built with my old Goodyear racing
tires....She only needed about 7 to make a jump that is about 10' wide...I
sometimes walk by a jump, see a particular tire with a distinctive cord
stripe showing or a big huge flat spot and recall, vividly, that particular
race that created the unique wear pattern on the tire.
  Another common use for dead tires, in rural America, is to spread them
around the roof of your "dream home" (double wide trailer) to keep the roof
from blowing away..
