The rapid and extensive growth of automobiles due to globalization and growing technology has led to an exponential increase in heaps of discarded rubber tyres. In India, the waste tyres i.e., synthetic rubber mostly, are classified as solid waste and their proper disposal viz landfills resulting in leachate formation is quite difficult, leading to pollution of natural resources and other aesthetics. This paper examines how tyre waste can be utilized in subgrade soil alongside some technical development in the construction of flexible pavements. It is an effort not only to reduce the pollution levels but also an attempt to decrease the quantity of materials required in flexible pavement design. The series of tests conducted show that the waste tyre mixed upto a certain proportion with soil shows an improvement in the soil properties which play a pivotal role in various construction projects.
