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.

What is the difference between man-made and natural resources?

A man-made resource is a resource that has been created through the acts of humans. For example, bleach is a man-made resource. It does not exist in nature (in any significant quantity), and is produced and consumed by humans. A natural resource is a resource that exists naturally. It might also be defined as a resource which man did not create (i.e. not man-made). For example, coal is a natural resource. It only exists in nature, and it is consumed by humans. Some resources are both. For example, forests can be both natural and man-made resources. Forests that were planted by humans are man-made resources, while forests that were not planted by humans are natural resources. Baking soda is another example of a man-made or natural resource. Most baking soda is made by humans from other materials, but baking soda can also be mined from the ground in certain locations.
