If rubber from worn out tires is left on the road shouldn't you be standing hip deep in rubber by now?

Tire rubber is mostly left behind as fine particles - rubber dust, if you will. This rubber dust doesn't just sit on the road; it is blown off by wind or washed of by rain, and it ends up in the environment.

What is the construction of NASCAR tires?
I would have to assume that your question is concerning the run-flats they use. The other tires are just a steel belted radial design, basically, with a prescribed compound, hardness of rubber, per track. There is a little more to it than that, but not much. The run flats are a tire, within a tire. The inside tire even has a pressure setting, which affects outer tire pressure. Most of the street versions of run-flats, rely on a super rigid sidewall. And there is very little rubber, in tires anymore. I don't know if this is a deep enough answer for you, but, if not email me, and I will explain further.
How often should you change your tires?
you can get a tire shop to measure the tread depth and they can let you no or if they are all cracked your tires should be rotated every 3000 miles (along with oil change). tires should be replaced if tread is less than 3/32nds of an inch deep. should not be used util tire is bald. if tires have been stored a long period of time check them for cracked rubber. Use your discretion , if unsure, ask a tire dealer. They will look at them for you and give you the best advice.
