No. Vulcanized rubber (usually artificial rubber) is very difficult to reprocess. This is why there are many millions of trashed tires accumulating in areas of the US and elsewhere. Sometimes they are burned, or shredded to use in various products. Or they may be used to form artificial reefs. But this occurs for only a small fraction of used tires. Most are left to slowly biodegrade over hundreds of years.
