Hi, everyone!

I am in the middle of some texts about tyre recyling, and would like to know if any of you has any idea if there is any translation in Spanish for the following term within its context. Thanks in advance!

The end of life tyre is a non-reusable tyre in its original form. It enters a waste management system based on product /material recycling, energy recovery or goes to landfill (2006 at the latest, excluding tyres used as engineering material and bicycle tyres and tyres with an outside diameter above 1400 mm): these tyres are to be recovered.

cubierta/neumático sin vida útil


Explanation:
me baso en que "end of life" puede ser medianamente equiparado a "fin de vida útil". Creo que "tyre" es falta ortográfica, y debe escribirse como "tire"

disagree  Spring Moon: "sin vida útil" me suena a un neumático que nunca sirvió para ningún fin. Respecto a "tyre" no es falta ortográfica, es inglés británico.
