rubber is not strong on its own but when it is vulcanised,i.e.,heated with sulphur to a definite temperaturefor a known period of time,it becomes strong because sulphur atoms act as bridges between rubber molecules, initiate cross-linking and convert the soft sticky rubber into a hard, elastic mass which can be put to extensive uses such as use in tyres,etc Because it is elastic.

Yes, rubber bands are made out of rubber.(:
A rubber-band is made out of rubber because rubber will make it hold things nice and tight.
rubber, the rubber helps it stretch but a different type of rubber than tires :)
They are made both soft and hard, depending on application.
Hard rubber tires are more durable, wear-resistant, and ideal for high-load or industrial use, but they offer less grip and a rougher ride. Soft rubber tires, on the other hand, provide better traction and a smoother driving experience but wear out faster and are more prone to damage on rough terrain. If you’re upgrading or replacing tires or related components, it’s important to match the right type for your driving needs.

Hard rubber
no because rubber is hard as :-- and glass cannot
The hard rubber would acquire a negative charge as electrons move from the wool to the rubber. Wool has a higher tendency to lose electrons, leaving the rubber with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge.
Rubber cases because when they fall to the ground they bounce. Hard cases just crack the screen.

The centers of tennis balls are rubber and rubber hardens with age.
Actually, hard rubber is not elastic. If you have ever had a hard rubber ball you know this. Also, rubber dries out and cracks in hot weather and doesn't expand or contract in cold weather so it would just fall apart eventually. Most people want to keep a car going for several years and it wouldn't hold up if it was hard rubber. Hard rubber is used in cars for hoses, tires, and other things, but to have the car made of it just is not practical.
Vulcanized rubber has disulfide crosslinks and is hard and strong.Natural rubber has no crosslinks and is soft and weak.
Hard rubber.
It can be either. Consider a hockey puck. And consider a Nerf ball. Both are rubber.
