I bet Pirelli could make more money selling F1 tires to fans than shredding and burning them. I would imagine they would have to slice the side walls or something so they weren't unuseable as tires. They could even sell them at the race - cash and carry. If you want to be real clever you put them on ebay by team. Would you like to bid on one of Ferrari's tires? No problem, but that will cost you more than one from HRT. Comes complete with letter from Pirelli with the serial number authetification. Of course Bernie would want his peice of the action.
