I'm curios to know how many of you have used tires in your lake vs. those who have not.

I have not used any to date, but I'm considering it more and more. In my mind, it seems a tad unnatural (not like the wood pallets I put in are natural), and I wonder if there's any potential chemical breakdown years down the road. I'd like to hear your collective input.

And Dudley...great suggestion on the garden hose/tire thing. That will come in handy if I go the Goodyear/Michelin route.
