    Abstract
    This research examines the viability of tire masonry units as a material for exterior walls in residential construction when compared to other alternative materials (straw bales) and traditional materials and methods (wood frame construction). This comparison is executed via a matrix which assigns scores to each material based on their performance in the following criteria; energy efficiency, human health, environmental health, structural soundness, and monetary costs. Tire masonry units have been offered up as a solution to both tire disposal issues that are detrimental to the environment and the problems posed by the need for virgin materials in housing construction. This research concludes this is not the case, and the use of tire masonry units fails to provide solutions for either of these pressing issues.
