Rubber will have a high coefficient of friction on most surfaces, but we cannot know whether there is more or less friction unless we have something to compare it to.

By using friction. Without it, they wouldn't have anything so the two will have also faults along the friction

How does the coefficient of static friction for two surfaces in contact compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces?

The coefficient of static friction is always larger because it takes more initial force to move an object that is at rest.
