natural rubber is thermoplastic (which when heated-up become soft). When this natural rubber is heated with sulphur, the properties of this rubber are improved.
1. it becomes non-sticky.
2. it gains ahigh tensile strength.
3. it can be used over awide range of temperature (-40C to 100C). so can resist heat produced due to friction.
4. it has high wear and tear resistance.

Used in match heads rubber tires and insecticides?
I think it is sulfur... not sure though. you should check. that's just what I am guessing since it is very flammable, and could be used to kill insects if certain substances were added to it. As for rubber tires it could be added to another substance too and could make a rubbery material such as these tires. Although I am unsure, I am pretty sure it is sulfur or something related to sulfur in this case. I hope my answer helped you.

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.
