since the walls are usually built with used rubber tires, and, theyre mostly built into the land itself,
id say they'd be a good build in puerto rico and other places. and, since many interior walls are
beautifully made from bottles and sundry objects of color i dont think many of them will fall
over and be blown away.
they are so unlike Hogans which usually were five walled structures of one room only.
now, today, they will make them with more sides, 6 to 8 sometimes.
they are for ceremonial purposes.
I followed the link you provided. I saw this:

I saw Hogans. Hogans are fine in a hot dry climate. Puerto Rico is a hot humid climate. Structures there need more ventilation and need to be up off of the ground, out of the ground water zone. Out of the burrowing crawling critter and insect zone. Out of the mold.
They need to have adequate drainage around them not be built in a embankment which funnels water in. And they need a roof structure which is tied down with steel to prevent it from blowing away in a hurricane. One can't tie a roof to stacked tires. And if one did figure out a way to tie them to stacked tires one would have a roof and tires blowing away in the wind.
The things are primitive shanties. Earth floors, not made for plumbing or wiring. Typical Taos impractical artsy-fartsy. There's been a colony of them living there for years. Another colony of them in Santa Fe.
