I imagine that humidity is difficult to manage. I don't think this is a good solution for cold climates. But the idea of using recycled materials is great. I also don't like the idea of living in a pile of used tires. I don't like to touch tires even when new. I wouldn't wear them on my body so I wouldn't want to use them as my "third skin", as Robert Riversong calls a house.
