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.

Sustainable practices and alternative materials are being explored to mitigate potential shortages. However, as of now, while there are challenges, there is no immediate risk of natural rubber running out.
What is rubber tires made of?
Because, rubber is a specific type of polymer called an elastomer: a large molecule that can be stretched to at least twice its original length and returned to its original shape. Early forms of rubber had many gluelike properties , especially in hot weather. In cold temperatures, rubber became hard and brittle. It was only after an accidental discovery b y Charles Goodyear in 1839 that modern rubber became possible.Since that time, rubber has become an important natural polymer in society. We make rubber from rubber trees (natural latex) and from oil (synthetic rubber). We use both types of rubber in many products. Like the Mesoamericans (Aztecs and Mayans) before them, athletes and children today play with rubber balls. Of course, the most common use for rubber is in automotive tires. But pencil erasers, shoes, gloves, dental dams and condoms contain the ubiquitous substance, too. In many products, rubber is added as a protective coating for either weatherproofing or shockproofing.Ravinder Dahiya (Mechanical Er.)
