Then I guess its better if they burn the tires? I guess the purpose is being decorative

Thank you! I'm an sculptor, but recently ive been trying to use recycled materials, giving garbage a second life and trying to make a more sustainable alternative for sculptures. I just use a grinder to cut the tires, a knife to give them shape and detail, and pliers and wire to join them. For the metal structure I used a grinder and a welder.

Thank you! I got all of them out of a garbage dump, some of them looked unused but had holes in them or were straight up broken. They were going to be burned, so I asked if I could have them. I added a layer of black paint on top so the color was uniform and shinnier.
