I don't know where you live but we have a place called 1-800-old tire. They grind up the tires and blow them into the old strip mines to fill the gaps in the earth. Some people craft with them. Look on line for places in YOUR area.
Hi Maxine, here's some ideas that may inspire you......

You could do yard art. I've seen a frog, coffee cup, and ladybug.
Another idea is to shred and use as rubber mulch. That's what you are purchasing at the store (I have seen the tire size on some of the pieces).
Hi! maybe this will help

Give them or sell them only to a licensed, regulated dealer for recycling. If you want to use them for a project, keep in mind they are filthy, so cleaning them, even at a car wash is a good start. Stacked, or single, they can be used for plants. I've seen them made into all sorts of things. Pinterest is a great source for ideas. Good luck!

Artistic Reuse For Old Tires
Chickens love a dust bath, and a tire is the perfect container. Add sand, soil, and diotomaceous earth to a tire big enough for one or more chickens to lay down in, and you've got a chicken party in the making!

I take them to Les Schwab.
You can make a kids swing or a planter
tie a rope around one and hand it from a tree!
I've seen them spray painted in bright colors and used as planters. So pretty!
