Can I build a solid house foundation using rubber tires?

hobojo asked:


I am building a 2 story house in Maine. 3 sides of the first story will be surrounded by earth. I would like to use recycled car tires for these 3 sides of the first story but don’t know if they will adequately support the second story.
