What is the purpose of rubber or plastic insulation around appliance cords?

Rubber tends to not burn as easily as plastic. Also, rubber is more moisture-resistant than plastic. If rubber burns, the fumes from burning rubber are safer than fumes from burning plastic. Sometimes rubber is used because the cord tends to remain more flexible with rubber insulation.

Is it true that Rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires provide protection from lightning?

No. If the outside of the rubber is wet, the extremely high voltage electricity can be conducted around the rubber. Also, most consumer grade rubber boots or shoes do not provide enough insulation for even low household voltage protection, such as a flooded basement. Only certified and rated boots will offer any protection in such conditions. The metal body of the vehicle will protect you in case of a lightning strike. This phenomenon is called a faraday cage. The electricity will flow on the outside of a metal box, object or container.
