studies have shown that ground up old tires mixed in with asphalt used to pave roads:

decreases tire wear on cars using those roads

greatly reduces cracking and pot holes in the road surface

increases the useful life of the road

yet still not approved

additionally, it would create a demand for used tires, making them valuable rather than a hindrance and costly to dispose of
