Here in Maine in my town the darn dump charges us $5.00 for each tire dropped off. Does this mean they are selling them to some other country and making a double profit?? Ha!

Do you know if any efforts are being made to recycle? Because here in El Salvador the tires are not being sent to the dump anymore, the ones that REALLY belong into dumps are going into contention walls and other uses (which I cannot remember right now) but I know there are certainly many uses for them LOL! used tires are very common in El Salvador…

If you are interested in this business ,China would probably be the best export market for used tyres. Probably most Japanese will say agree to the tyre change.

Coincidentally enough, when I was backpacking through Japan in the early-90s, I was running low on cash and was looking for some part-time work. While living in a gaijin house for a week or so, an Australian I met suggested that I spend a few days sorting tires at an enormous tire yard that were destined for China and Russia. I earned the equivalent of $600, which I know doesn't sound like much, but kept me going for a while until I left Japan. Interesting story.

It's tread wear, condition, tread wear, and tread wear. Did I mention tread wear?
