As per an estimate, almost 290 million tires are discarded in USA alone making it a big problem to recycle it or for that matter, just dump it in the landfill. This problem can be largely overcome by reusing and recycling them for creating objects of artistic value. You will be amazed to find out that how various artists (and common people) have put these tires to use and have solved the problem to handle this mess to a large extent.
Here in this article we have covered seven such entries, which depict the innovation and creativity of various artists.
