How do you make car tires from a rubber tree?

Car tires are not made from rubber trees any more. Tires and other "rubber" products are produced from synthetic rubber, made from petroleum based polymers. Pre-World War II tires were produce using the sap of rubber trees and through a process called vulcanization (created by Charles Goodyear). The vulcanization process entails heating the sap and adding sulfur, peroxide, or bisphenol to improve elasticity. Modern passenger car tires are made from as many as 20 different types of natural rubber from rubber tress and synthetic rubber which is used in different parts of the tire.

Are tires man made or natural resource?

Tires are a man made product made from natural resources. Early tires used natural resources from rubber trees, cotton plants, and sulfur. The cotton was spun into fibers that were used embedded in uncured natural rubber to strengthen it and the tire was cured using the sulfur in a process called vulcanization. Modern tires use natural resources from petroleum, iron ore, etc. The iron ore is made into steel which is made into steel fibers that are embedded in uncured synthetic rubber made from petroleum to strengthen it and the tire is cured.
