Impressive concept and a admirable solution to the discarded tyres problem. I've just ordered one.

Definitely an interesting idea.I had a doormat a little while ago that was made from elements cut from old tyres, laced together with steel wire. It was great for a decade or so but eventually the wires rusted through
I still find bits of the rubber in my garden from time to time.
