I saw the cutest way to use old tires just this morning. They painted them white, and put black buttons and a huge black hat on the top. Looked just like a snowman. Wish I took a photo.
I've seen them turned into yard art. My favorite is a frog but I've also seen coffee cups. If you have the ability to shred them, you can use as rubber mulch.

Hi Tom. Cut them in half. Paint them. Line your walkways with them. Or stack a couple and plant flowers in them. One of my neighbors put a couple around his mailbox. Painted them to match his mailbox and planted vining plants in them. Looks real pretty when the flowers are blooming. Good luck Tom. Happy Holidays.
