Long Beach GP tire walls.

I walked by some tire walls at the LB grand prix and i could'nt help but notice that some of them are about the right size for me. Anybody know what they do with them after they're done? I'm curious

I'm not sure about the tires outside the venue, but any used drift tires are required to have the sidewall drilled per FD regulation. Not sure if this applies to any of the other events held there though

A better question is, why the hell would you want dry-rotted used tires? Don't be cheap.

Those tires are usually sourced from places that recycle used tires, to answer your question. They are sent back for recycling/disposal.

You are better off sourcing used tires from a tire shop than from the LBGP.
