<p>LEGO is the No.1 tire maker in the world by number of unit. It produce the same number of tires in a year as both Michelin &amp; Bridgestone together, the 2 biggest tire manufacturers.
A "real" vehicle tire is made of a mix of Natural Rubber (coming from a tree: Hevea Brasiliensis) and Synthetic Rubber (coming from oil). Is this the same for the LEGO tire or is it only Synthetic rubber that is used?</p>

@CalebWoodman The (your) accepted answer from 5 July this year  states "**Tires** and elastic materials found in some LEGO sets are manufactured from Styrene-Butadiene Styrene (SBS)"?
