The US has approximately 150,000,000 cars. Each car has approximately 4 tires of diameter 20 inches and width 5 inches. One eighth inch tread wears off each year from each tire under normal driving conditions. This leads to 150,000,000 * 2 Pi * 20 * 5 * 1/8 /1728 or about 6,800,000 cubic feet of tire dust deposited each year.
Why haven't people found the dust piles?

Why haven't people found the dust piles?In my neighborhood, the street sweepers come by once a week and clean the streets. (It's obvious: the neanderthals had street sweepers.)
