The balance of the tyre is made up with metal and other components.

Tyres wear our and can be notoriously difficult to dispose of. Many of us will have laughed at the Springfield Tyre fire in the hit TV series The Simpsons. Burning tyres is of course illegal in the UK and micro plastics emanating from tyres are a major source of plastic pollution.
