N scale junk piles, specifically tires

I've got a corner TTRAK module that needs to become an urban wasteland.

You know, kinda like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9793551,-75.0876631,248a,35y,39.45t/data=!3m1!1e3

It's amazing how things have been cleaned up over the years, but since I'm modeling the bad old days, I need some piles of crap.

I'm thinking a big tire dump would be amazing, but other stuff will be good too.

I could SWEAR I remember someone offering large tire piles before, but I can't find them now.

Anyone got a lead on stuff like this?

So far the only source I've found is Model Tech Studios, which are good, but I'm looking for more.

Whoa, anyone ever gotten anything from this guy:
https://www.ebay.com/str/Adams-trucks-N-trains/N-Scale/_i.html?_storecat=6588950010

Some of that is pretty neat AND relatively cheap.

Seriously? Looks like junk pile stuff as-is. (And not in a good way.)

That and a blatant disregard for licensing agreements.

I wonder if some black flexible tubing, a chopper, and one's preferred distilled liquid could be the answer?

Not sure if that's a vote of confidence or not, but I wouldn't give anything this guy made a second look.

This. I can imagine making many hundred used tires before the first drink is finished.

I was thinking about that. I'm totally into the idea. It was the source material I was struggling with. Recommendations?

What about black Silicone tubing? I didn't do any in depth research, but just at a glance a smaller diameter piece might work.

Ed, look at the Roaring Spring truck if you have it handy.  It should look very familiar. :D
