Rubber tires are preferred to steel tires because if we had steel tires driving over the smallest pebble would be a very bumpy ride. Rubber tires are flexible and will be smooth when going over rocks. Not to mention, if we had steel tires the government would have to replace the roads everyday with the amount of people tearing them up with steel tires. Also, rubber tires wear out and that means you will have to buy new ones again..

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.
