All you have to do is an internet search for the key words baled scrap tires,scrap tires baled, scrap tires for export or wanted scrap tires or wanted baled scrap tires and you will find it returns millions of results.
The scrap tire for export boom began on the west coast of the U S but has quickly spread to the east coast as well. Some in the scrap tire and tire recycling industry are worried it has affected used tire casing sales for retreading as well as created a shift in how scrap tires are disposed and who controls the custody of the tire from cradle to grave.
Who are these importers and import brokers who want these American Scrap Tires so bad they are exporting them back to Asia for tire Derived fuel? Supposedly the excess of empty shipping containers and cheap ocean freight from US ports back to Asia specifically China who appears to be the ultimate buyer and user of the scrap tires being exported,even though they appear to be arriving through Viet Nam. so why is Viet Nam the back Door for the Chinese if they are using the scrap for TDF????
What is the Big Secret,Why so many Brokers? Sometimes the amount of emails we receive at usedtires.com for baled scrap tires almost makes it seem like the NIGERIAN BANKER SCHEME BUT THERE ARE BUYERS AND EXPORTERS TRANSPORTING MAJOR TONNAGE OF AMERICAN SCRAP TIRES TO ASIA.APPEARS SCRAP IS OUR BIGGEST EXPORT.

" USED TIRES" TIRE REVIEW EDITORIAL ONCE AGAIN SHOWS IGNORANCE AND FEAR MONGERING BY NEW TIRE MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR FLUNKIES

We somehow missed the Opinion in a Tire review article published online in August.
Thankfully Used Tire dealer Brian Kingsley did not.
For over twenty years new tire makers have waged a smear campaign overseas and domestically they have typically used The Rubber Manufacturers Association to do it with. Overseas false Advertisements were taken out in Newspapers and on Tv in Venezuela.Argentina and Brazil smearing the Used Tire Industry with Half truths and Rumors.Now it appears they have Jim Smith and Tire Review who have never been friends of the Used Tire Industry doing it for them
The Power of Advertising.....I MEAN THE POWER ADVERTISERS HAVE OVER THE PUBLICATIONS WHERE THEY ADVERTISE....................
HOW MUCH REVENUE DOES TIRE REVIEW EARN FROM NEW TIRE MAKERS????????????
But a recent report by TyreSafe, a quasi-independent consumer education body
(don’t you wish we had one of those?) in the U.K., may shed some new light on the issue.

LATER IN THE STORY THE TIRE REVIEW EDITOR SAYS THE FOLLOWING
Full disclosure: TyreSafe is partly funded by donations from Tire makers, but acts independently in its consumer education efforts. Also, the U.K. has strict laws regarding used tires, which must meet certain standards and be permanently marked as being sold as part-worn. FULL DISCLOSURE "PARTLY FUNDED" BY TIRE MAKERS..WOW WHAT A COINCIDENCE.....WHAT HAPPENED TO QUASI INDEPENDNENT CONSUMER EDUCATION.......



This Used Tire Dealer of over Twenty five years has written letters to and had meetings with Congressmen, Senators, US Trade Representative and Commerce Secretary. We also organized and Co founded a Used Tire Association in Puerto Rico as well as won a Permanent Injunction against the government of Puerto Rico to protect tire dealers right to sell and distribute Used Tires.
Why???
Because of the Half Truths and Smear tactics of Tire Makers
Goodyear,Bridgestone Firestone,Pirelli and Michelin. these companies have probably violated the Foreign Corrupt practices Act as well as Anti Trust laws.Goodyear has already violated FCPA so it would not be a first for them.
The sale of Used Tires properly inspected is a viable alternative to the consumer who can not afford a new tire and is safer than driving on the Bald ones they now drive on..New Tires are represented to have a certain amount of mileage for their lifespan MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL INTO QUESTION THE MILEAGE WARRANTIES AND PROMISES OF TIRE MAKERS
THE SIMPLE FACT OF TAKING THE TIRE OFF THE RIM AND DEEMING IT A USED TIRE DOES NOT MAKE IT SAFE OR UNSAFE. THIS IS DETERMINED AFTER A CAREFUL INSPECTION.
THE SIMPLE FACT OF TAKING A TIRE OFF THE RIM BECAUSE A CONSUMER IS BUYING A NEW TIRE SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF USEFUL LIFE LEFT ON THE REMOVED TIRE.
EACH TIRE IS EITHER REUSABLE BECAUSE IT IS IN ROAD WORTHY CONDITION OR NOT NO GENERALIZATIONS......
TIRE MAKERS TELL YOU THEY ARE GOOD FOR 20,000 OR 30,000 OR 40,000 MILES OR MORE SO WHY IF THE TIRE IS IN SERVICEABLE CONDITION SHOULD IT NOT BE REUSED?

THIS WOULD APPLY TO ALL TIRE REPAIRS AT THE POINT THE TIRE IS REMOVED FROM THE RIM DOES EVERY TIRE DEALER MAKING REPAIRS KNOW THE ORIGIN AND DRIVING HABITS OF EACH CUSTOMER ????????? WHAT ABOUT CASINGS SOLD FOR RETREADING WHY ARE YOU NOT CALLING THAT INTO QUESTION? OH I FORGOT GOODYEAR FIRESTONE AND MICHELIN SELL RETREADS TOO. TOUGH TO MAKE A RETREAD WITHOUT A USED TIRE(A CASING IS A USED TIRE SUITABLE FOR RETREADING) AGAIN ANOTHER LIFE FROM THAT NEW TIRE...

NO ONE WANTS TO SELL A DANGEROUS PRODUCT USEDTIRES.COM HAS LIABILITY INSURANCE LIKE ALL TIRE DEALERS SHOULD. WE HAVE SOLD MILLIONS OF USED TIRES WITHOUT ONE LAWSUIT!!
CAN FIRESTONE SAY THE SAME???

THE TRUTH IS TIRE MAKERS PRODUCE A PRODUCT THAT CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE LIFE WE ARE ALL DRIVING ON USED TIRES...... STOP THE SCARE TACTICS AND FEAR MONGERING!!!

Sell Used Tires If You Must, Just Know What You Don't Know
By Jim Smith email
Editor, Tire Review magazine
August 09, 2010

I have never been a fan of dealers selling used tires. You’re not in the garage business, after all, and selling used only diminishes the value of the new products you rely on for long-term profitability.

But I get it. Certain consumers can only do so much – especially now. A “good” used tire may be in better shape than the rubber they are riding on. A number of you feel expert enough to separate the good from the questionable. Many more simply don’t see a problem, and “any sale is a good sale.”

I get it.

Hawking used tires is nothing new, and certainly not just an all-American phenomenon. It’s been going on for decades, here and abroad.

But a recent report by TyreSafe, a quasi-independent consumer education body (don’t you wish we had one of those?) in the U.K., may shed some new light on the issue.

Proving the acorn-tree thing can work in reverse, drivers in the U.K. are just as bad about tire care as U.S. drivers. Roads and weather are pretty similar. U.K. vehicles tend to be a bit smaller – no one there rolls out in a Hummer 5 Mega-Monster over there – and, therefore, tires are a tad smaller overall.

Still, consumers on both shores see nothing wrong with buying used.

In the U.S., used tires are a featured attraction at countless yard sales and on Craigslist and eBay and the local classifieds. Used cars come with used tires, right? There is, therefore, an expectation that a used tire is A-OK provided there is some tread left and no visible damage.

TyreSafe’s findings, though, should serve as a warning that not all is A-OK when it comes to part-worn tires.

Birmingham, England, officials investigated the quality of used tires sold by local firms. In all, the investigators bought and checked nearly 200 tires, and found that nine out of 10 failed to meet minimum legal standards. Some 30% had physical defects (embedded nails, exposed cords, excessive wear). Some had required markings buffed off, and most failed to carry a mark identifying the tire as being used. One in particular was all of 17 years old.

And these were tires sold by tire shops – not at yard sales – by tire experts, I suspect, who pride themselves on having a keen eye for these kinds of things. Like American dealers.
Oh, it gets worse. TyreSafe did a deeper examination of six of the tires, using X-ray equipment to look for internal damage. All six showed clear signs of impact damage, exhibiting “unstable stress points” or “fatigue in components” that increase the likelihood of a blowout.

As TyreSafe noted, these highly dangerous defects would not be visible under normal inspections that used tires should undergo before going on sale.

“The results from the Birmingham investigation are extremely worrying and confirm our worst fears about part-worn tires,” said TyreSafe chairman Stuart Jackson.

“Although guidelines do exist about the condition of tires being sold as part-worns, they are clearly not being adhered to by all traders. The types of faults found are extremely dangerous and, if fitted to a vehicle, could have caused serious accident and injury.”

Full disclosure: TyreSafe is partly funded by donations from tiremakers, but acts independently in its consumer education efforts. Also, the U.K. has strict laws regarding used tires, which must meet certain standards and be permanently marked as being sold as part-worn.

Back on these shores, here are some stats you can examine under your in-shop shearography machine, courtesy of the RMA’s 2010 Tire Pressure Survey:

• Of 6,300 vehicles checked, only 17% had four properly inflated tires.
• 55% had at least one underinflated tire.
• 15% had at least one tire down by at least 8 psi
• 20% had at least one tire underinflated by 6 psi.
• 31% were underinflated by at least 4 psi.

As used tires go, eight in 10 you might sell have been run underinflated.

How long were these tires run underinflated? How many potholes and curbs did they meet? What debris did they roll over? How many panic stops did they endure? How many times have they been mounted/dismounted?

Who knows? You don’t, and no one’s eyeballs are that good.

Look, to sell or not to sell used is your decision, and yours alone. But don’t think that in “sue-first” America that you’re alone; if one of your used tires fails, there is nothing to insulate you from a court judgment – and nothing to prevent that tire’s maker from joining you in court.

Our industry much prefers suggestion to regulation. And when it comes to used tires, that’s exactly what we have.

If you want to sell used tires, that’s fine. Some will even praise your efforts. Just know what you don’t know, and understand that every used tire you sell is another round of Lawsuit Roulette.

Because you just don’t know.

AGAIN USEDTIRES.COM HAS THE FOLLOWING POSITION.

NO ONE WANTS TO SELL A DANGEROUS PRODUCT USEDTIRES.COM HAS LIABILITY INSURANCE LIKE ALL TIRE DEALERS SHOULD. WE HAVE SOLD MILLIONS OF USED TIRES WITHOUT ONE LAWSUIT!!
CAN FIRESTONE SAY THE SAME???

EPA rule's about Tire Derived Fuel and the future of Tire Recycling Industry

According to a recent issue of Tire Business http://www.tirebusiness.com

The EPA has until February 21 2011 to issue its final rule covering emissions from industrial boilers and solid waste incinerators.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association as well as The Tire industry Association are concerned about the new MACT requirements.Under the new rule scrap tires would be defined as solid waste,meaning only Tire derived Fuel that was processed before use could be considered as fuel.This alone is enough to set back the Tire Industry and all the efforts it has made in the last twenty years towards resolving the nations scrap Tire disposal problems.This proposed rule would be a reversal of Twenty years of progress that all in the tire industry have workAccording to a recent issue of Tire Business http://www.tirebusiness.com

The EPA has until February 21 2011 to issue its final rule covering emissions from indued hard to solve.The use of whole tires in industrial kilns is a Success!!!
Using scrap tires as an alternative fuel works.
The science and data are on Industries side .
Usedtires.com is proud to be a supplier and processor of Tire Derived Fuel for the Cement Industry.
Our company like many in the Tire Recycling industry believe in Reuse,Reduce,Recycle! !
Recycling over 130 million Scrap tires a year by using as an Alternative Fuel in industrial Kilns is an effective, safe way to eliminate discarded scrap tires and prevent them from being dumped illegally and forming clandestine landfills ravaged with potential disease.

Used Tires for Sale Poor Economy increases demand for "Used Tires"

Used Tires for Sale Poor Economy increases demand for "Used Tires"
With nearly 10% of Americans currently unemployed, households are trying to cut spending in every aspect of life. One main area in which costs are being lowered is transportation. Hybrid and electric vehicles have seen record sales in the past few years with gas prices fluctuating wildly and Americans trying to squeeze every mile possible out of a gallon of gas. For those that simply can’t afford a new vehicle, however, an interesting solution has emerged: used tires.

While some time ago the concept was largely unheard of, nowadays there are many companies whose sole business model is selling used tires to the general public. With the explosion of "used tire disposal "laws and "Tire recycling" laws the increase in demand for "used tires" and or a "used tire" have skyrocketed in these bleak economic times
A simple internet search will return a number of different websites offering "Used tires" "used tires wholesale" “used performance tires” and “used tractor tires,” to name a few. Virtually any kind of tire now has a used version available, and there is even “wholesale discount pricing” for those wanting to order used tires in mass quantities. Worldwide export of "quality used tires" is also a booming business
Since they are drastically cheaper than new tires, many are now opting for these pre-owned versions for their automobiles.

Over 300 Million Used Tires are disposed of in the US every year
Not only are they being sold, but over 150 million used tires are also now being reused and burned each year for “tire derived fuels,” or TDF for short.
A great purpose using all the energy inside the tire to manufacture another product in most cases klinker for cement. Many people are arguing for other proposed options for the disposal of these tires, as burning them harms the environment.But the science appears to show the tires burn cleaner and hotter than coal which many industries use in their kilns.
Other recycled uses include doormats, roofing materials, playground equipment, and “crumbs” as an additive for asphalt, which extends the life of the pavement 4-5 years.

The purchase of a quality used tire is always a better alternative for the tire consumer than continuing to drive on their bald tires.
The used tires Usedtires.com offers for sale are available direct to consumer, Used Tire Wholesalers,and used Tires for export

SCRAP TIRE DISPOSAL AND USED TIRES INDUSTRY SEES MEGA FIRMS AQUIRING THE LITTLE GUYS IN TRUE WAYNE HUIZENGA STYLE

SCRAP TIRE DISPOSAL AND USED TIRES INDUSTRY SEES MEGA FIRMS AQUIRING THE LITTLE GUYS IN TRUE WAYNE HUIZENGA STYLE
Not overnight but it seems like it.The scrap tire disposal and Used Tire industry seem to have a "Buy Out" Hungry group of Heavy Hitters.
The industry which was always fragmented and consisted of hundreds if not thousands of independent tire collectors and processors had it's big players Lakin Tire, Lakin General, Emmanuel Tire, Casings Inc amongst others.With the rapid expansion by Liberty Tire and the entry of LKQ corp recently the industry has seen one player Liberty Tire gobble up many many tire recyclers and tire collectors including some of the aforementioned Big Players forming a network of outlets recycling about one third of Americas scrap tires over 100 Million per year.
What will these takeovers mean in the future to the tire industry as a whole?? Will there be one giant amongst all of the old independents ?
Is this the best thing to keep moving forward with recycling of Americas discarded tires a lot of progress has been made in the last twenty years to rid America of illegal tire dump sites and assure for proper tire disposal.
What will become of tipping fees if anyone company has too much influence?
What will happen to the price of crumb rubber,shredded material and used tires if any one company controls the marker??????
PS. Usedtires.com a great piece of intellectual property
A domain with a lot traffic can be yours as well for the right price......;.
