Most tire stores will charge 2 to 3 bucks a piece.

Cut em up and throw em on the gravel driveway

J.T. had it right, Most tire stores will charge a couple bucks but take em. They charge you for the old tire disposal on your street car as well when you buy new.

Depending on your location, try calling a marina some use tires as bumpers to line their docks.

burn em, they make such a lovely pungent aroma and seemingly burn for ever/ more potent than insence! lol ///

there was a salvage dump full of old tires that used to catch fire every few years near where I used to live, it would fill the sky with dark billowing smoke , it was nasty beyond description and would take forever to put out (i'm thinking sometimes it took several weeks to put those fires all the way out)

I remember we used to stack them at some of the sports cars tracks as a soft wall, stacked em at a couple of oval tracks too/ usually a car would go right through them at the oval tracks though

Advertise..."Sprintcar tires for sale...new and used...over 100 tires for 200 bucks" Buy one new LR and make the prospective buyer take all of them....hahaha

I only say this because I ended up getting hooked on a similar deal....bought some used tires cheap...a few of them were decent but I had to take 50 or so junkers to get the handfull of useable ones.

Great idea: According to the EPA, "Oil that exudes into ground and surface water as a result of tire fires is a significant environment pollutant. In some cases, this may trigger Superfund cleanup status.
Air pollution is also produced by tire fires. Air emissions may include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, styrene, phenols, and butadiene."
