~30% natural rubber with the rest being synthetic polymers, woven fabrics, steel, stabilizers, and carbon black, silicates are also included to change the properties of the tire.
If you don’t account for the structural components and just tread composition it’s probably closer to 40%
Any idea what percentage of modern tires are synthetic vs natural rubber?
