The ground anchored post is made exclusively from the steel-belted treads and metallic wire rings of reclaimed, used, pneumatic tires. Each used tire is cut with a shearing tool to remove therefrom the rubber side walls thereof. A selected number of treads are then compressed flatly against one another, while a plurality of wire rings engage by their hollow the compressed pack of treads. The total number of treads selected is a function of the thickness of each tread and of the diameter of the tires, whereby the number of treads is high enough to provide taut, friction-fit engagement of the wire rings around the pack of treads. The taut engagement of wire rings around the pack of treads positively prevents the treads from engaging in sliding displacement relative to one another.

A post structure for use as a ground driven anchor member for a road guard, said post structure consisting exclusively of pneumatic tire components, comprising: (a) a selected number of developed tire treads, flatly compressed against one another in a generally quadrangular, flat pack of treads; (b) a plurality of tire wire rings, surroundingly engaging said treads pack transversely thereof; said-number of treads being selected in such a way that said number of treads is high enough to provide taut, friction-fit engagement of said wire rings around said pack of treads, said taut engagement of wire rings around said pack of treads positively preventing said treads from sliding displacement relative to one another within said wire rings; wherein each said tread and each said wire ring includes a full length, rigid core and a sheath into which the rigid core is embedded; said post structure imparting both substantial sturdiness yet resilient, impact-absorbing property to the road guard, while boasting spring-back capability under a lateral blow, whereby a vehicle striking this road-guard would be diverted with minimum damage back on the roadway.
