Some county's across the country have added guidelines into their building code about using rammed earth tires(typically buried) Even more interesting is in common practice once tires are cut or shredded they are no longer tires, or special waste of any kind. Which is why this company is likely cutting both sidewalls off doing so it's no longer a tire but a ring of petroleum and natural rubber legal in all 50 states.

Tires contain oils that contaminate the soil; they also consist of heavy metals such as lead, that can persist in the environment and accumulate over time.

Also im not sure if this is possible in wide use. We can quickly run out of old tires as we already use them in asfalt. Also consider to volume there is 1-2% of road pavement is rubber.

Worked on a machine for packing tyres for retaining walls, the same company was doing this road stabilizing trick for farm tracks as well. Back in 2002ish~ in New Zealand. The major issue was resource consent when most the concrete companies have ties to Councillors or are part owned by councils (municipalities), the councils used a lot of what if scenarios to make sure it was kept from interfering with there current supply regime. Things like "what if the road get washed away in a major flood, where will the tyres go" and " what if the road wears down until the tyre's, then causes flat tyres from the wires coming through the road surface".

I can explain the logic behind the name, if you wanted a fully fleshed out version, it would be "mechanically confined concrete." When you're speaking about engineering, when you say mechanical, it's generally talking about a macroscopic interaction. For example, a mechanical pesticide like diatomaceous earth doesn't kill pests with a chemical reaction, it mechanically absorbs water and shreds their bodies. In this case, the aggregates are mechanically retained with a tire, or other structure, instead of being chemically bonded with cement. When it comes to engineering jargon, a lot tends to be lost on a layman.

It's all about the $$$ & using fresh oil! *EDITED for more info. This all took place soon after a Giant Mountain of tires caught fire in the United States. The fire departments from all over the US. could not put this fire out for around 3 1/2 months. I remember seeing satellite pictures of the smoke. I believe this is what gave the individual the idea to use the used tires, recycle them & mix with the asphalt. After Congress and the Oil Companies would not let him do this, he applied a similar technology to the playgrounds at McDonald's and other play grounds for kids. ( the soft rubber like material)

It makes sense that it wouldn't work for high speed steeply banked racetracks or road areas. Inertia would move the entirety of the roadway because this process creates too good of a bond. Things like racetracks work better if it's flexible to allow for the g forces placed on it. This process would understandably push the entire roadway in the direction that gets the most force.

Farmers been using this trick for a very long time. Its used to stabilize muck ground when filled with aggregate and no top layer (facilitate drainage) so your tractor / truck / hay wagons don't get stuck or make huge ruts. Also used to dam up drainage ditches when filled with a clay / aggregate mix. You all really aught to talk to farmers more often.
