Goodyear's edible tyre

If you won't eat my rubber, the squirrels will. h/t "TooOldToWork" over at Insta, but not too old to think.

I kind of get it, that petroleum tyres are a massive waste problem. Burning tyres ... stinks. Goodyear's new tyres should burn cleaner. Or the waste-department can just feed your worn out treads to the rodents. Oh right ... the rodents and ants will probably steal your wheel first. Goodyear could add toxins to the tyres but now we are back to what happens when time comes to burn them.

The other problem with "renewables" is the problem Michael Moore's lads raised in Planet of the Humans: renewability means farms. Maybe that's a plus in the case of soy; better to farm something that can turn a profit, so we're not subsidising them (excepting the inherent subsidy in banning alternatives). I am not seeing the upside in the case of pine, which acidifies the soil and makes difficult to farm - or to grow - much else.

I'd recommend the soyatyre for some autarkic province as cannot import petroleum products or would rather export such. And doesn't have hungry rodents. I have no idea where that might be. Mars?

Let us also note: as Goodyear is clearly thinking little of actual middle-class drivers and cars, so it goes for the soy boys at caranddriver. This is another E.S.G. metric. The Davos clique do not want you driving cars. They want the roads clear for themselves.
