I was on a project with a group of egg head engineers. We had to commute on the freeways of Houston and one morning over coffee contemplated what happens to all the tire material that wears away on the pavement. Someone did a quick estimate and we quickly concluded that there was so much material worn away that there should be piles of the stuff along side the roadways. There isn't of course.

So what happens to it? Turns out there are microbes along the roadways that eat the tire debris. So next question, what does happen to all the tire debris mass that gets converted into microbes?
