This Site Might Help You. RE: Melting Point of Rubber Tires? What is the usual melting point of rubber tires?
The rubber in tires is vulcanized, meaning that is in fact one big molecule. It will not melt. When heated to a high enough temperature in an inert atmosphere (away from air/oxygen), the rubber will decompose, sometimes partially resulting in an oily ooze. This ooze is not liquid rubber, nor is it a pure substance, it is a mixture long hydrocarbon chains resultant from the decomposition of the rubber. If the tire is heated in air, and the temperature gets high enough, it will burn.
