It is going into the environment. We do live in a biosphere. It is being turned into dust and gases. And, yes we are breathing the result. Although it may look like it, it does not disappear. The process is so slow, and the disbursement so wide spread, we do not see it. You can find the actual numbers in tons from various sources, but worldwide it is in the millions of tons per year. Some percentage of the result is natural such as latex, some is not.

What type of rubber is a tire made of?

Tires are primarily made from synthetic rubber, specifically styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene rubber, which provide durability and performance. Natural rubber is also used for its excellent elasticity and resilience. Additionally, tires incorporate various additives and compounds, such as carbon black for strength and silica for improved traction. The composition can vary based on tire type and intended use, such as all-season, performance, or off-road tires.


What happens to all the tread that wears off automobile tires?

The tread that wears off your tires is left behind on the roads that you have been driving on. Sometimes the wind and rain wash some of it off the roadway... when the highway is resurfaced, the tire slag is removed and the remaining asphalt is roughed up to receive a cap mixture which is designed to adhere to the base, save your tires to the extent possible, and hopefully keep you from sliding off the road.

Tire rubber is mostly left behind as fine particles - rubber dust, if you will. This rubber dust doesn't just sit on the road; it is blown off by wind or washed of by rain, and it ends up in the environment. >>M.T.<<


How do rubber spikes on tires enhance traction and performance in off-road driving conditions?

Rubber spikes on tires enhance traction and performance in off-road driving conditions by increasing the tire's grip on uneven surfaces. The spikes dig into the terrain, providing better traction and stability, which helps the vehicle navigate through challenging off-road conditions more effectively.


What are the potential dangers associated with tire whiskers and how can they be prevented?

Tire whiskers are small rubber particles that can break off from tires and accumulate on roadways, posing a danger to drivers by reducing traction and increasing the risk of skidding. To prevent tire whiskers, drivers should regularly check their tires for wear and tear, maintain proper tire pressure, and avoid aggressive driving habits that can accelerate tire degradation. Additionally, road maintenance crews can help prevent tire whiskers by regularly sweeping and cleaning road surfaces to remove accumulated rubber debris.

How do you reduce tire noise?

Tire noise can be caused by the tread pattern used on your tires. Off road tires have a deep tread pattern to give better grip on soft surfaces. Change to a road tire. Road noise can also be caused by worn suspension components, especially the rubber bushes. Check that yours are not worn. They go soggy or split with age.


Why does i10 back tires finishes faster than front tire and why does tear and wear occur to inner side of back tires?

Your question is very confusing. First off I do not know what you mean by finishes faster nor what an i10 tire is. I am going to try so I assume you mean the rear tire wears our faster than the front tire. If your car is a rear wheel drive the rear drive tires will wear faster than the non-drive tires. Also if the tire is wearing on the inner side that means that your car needs an alignment. Take the car to a tire shop and have a 4 wheel alignment.
