Can’t speak to tires. Just did the leachate toxicity testing years back.

My understanding is that there is a roofing product made from rubber that was also toxic.

People can’t do their research and make a decision.

I read a report about the rubber shingles being a problem for neighbors.

Hail bounced off one roof and smashed the neighboring homes.

My gut says concrete will last a lot longer than rubber and won’t come with any leachate issues.
