the biggest reason for tires is at the farm we have thousands but we only use about 300 or so, the surplus ones just sit there and collect all sorts of bad things (snakes, bees and mosquitos) so this would be a cheap and blentiful way to get rid of an annoyance. + trust me any stall mats that we have are not ones you'd want to put your hands on.
What would you do with the steel belting?
I wanted to do this, myself, but I ran into these kinds of problems...

hmmm this is probably why i never got past the "what if?" part... the portion of the tire i would take off would probably be the tread part cut that only the rubber was used. how i would accomplish this i have no idea.

The steel belting is the hardest thing to get past. I guess you could take the outer layer off and just use it. Most of the steel belting is in the inner layers. Tractor tires would have more tread to play with.
Fill the tires with dirt and make a fence..... Seen one in Montana or Idaho once.
I was working for a local outfit driving through Idaho or Montana and some farmer had filled all his tires with dirt and stacked them. Maybe it was Colorado, I forget. Made the fence about 6 feet high. Helluva good use for old tires. Livestock wouldn't be able to jump a 6 foot fence and with the dirt in them, made them fairly solid.
Neighbors? I wouldn't go less than 8 foot high then. With concertina wire on top and searchlights at all 4 corners. That's just me. I hate living in the big city.

no this is rural but they own the woods next to our silage bunker and they say were turning it into a leach pool.. despite the fact that we just spent 250,000$ installing a septic system for any runoff. theyre just looking to get free money by cheating the system..

Needs to be sharpened. Bought the blade as preshaped as I don't have a forge. But, it was fun. Done a knife for my oldest, he asked, and he went and cut his finger with it Friday night. His is more of a hunting style. I hadn't even got it shaving sharp, yet.

That many tires laying around you can build a house like Dennis Weaver did called an earthship. I had been in that house plenty of times.
