Three men from Mianyang City, southwest China's Sichuan Province, turned abandoned tires into sculptures of the 12 animals that represent the Chinese zodiac signs. Collected in bulk from nearby areas, the tires were first cut into small pieces before being attached to animal-shaped frames made of metal and wood.
