My Firestone 721's back in the '70s appeared to have broken from the inside and then blew out. The belts separated causing the tire to cup, separate and then blow out. I had this happen to my fronts first, but the rears showed evidence of it as well. Firestone admitted that the 7 wrapped by 2 then by 1 tire, caused friction which broke the steel belts.

Is a battery biotic or abiotic?

It depends on how you look at it. if we break the tire down into its individual parts then it is composed of both biotic and abiotic factors. ex. steel belted radial-the steel constitutes abiotic and the rubber would be biotic because that comes from a tree. the fiber cords inside also would be biotic as they come from plant material.
