Tires conduct electricity. Tires contain a large amount of carbon black to stabilize the rubber and the carbon black is electrically conductive.
If the tires were insulators, the rolling insulator (tires) would cause a static electric charge to build up on the vehicle. Vehicles with insulators for tires/wheels have ground straps dragging the ground bonding the chassis to the ground.
Car tires are actually conductors. Poor conductors, but still conductors. Tires contain carbon black, an additive to the rubber. Carbon does conduct electricity. Tires may also be wet, and have picked up salts from the roadway. However, inside of a car is a relatively safe place during a lightning storm- not because of the tires, but the metal frame and body of the car- a lightning strike will tend to be carried through the metal, around the passenger compartment, and to the earth.

Is rubber boots a insulator or coductor?
Rubber boots, or rubber soles on boots, is an insulator
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
Is 2P a conductor or insulator?
It is a conductor.
Which of these materials would not be a good insulator of electricity?
An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.
Is chalk an insulator or an conductor?
insulator.
Is a wire a conductor or a insulator?

Is rubber a insulator or conducter?
Insulator, you will not get shocked wearing rubber gloves.
Is a toaster an example of conduction?
conducter
Is petrol a conducter or a insulator of electricity?
Conductor
Is plastic a conducter or a insulator?
Most plastics are insulators.
Is rubber boots a insulator or coductor?
Rubber boots, or rubber soles on boots, is an insulator
What word means the opposite of electrical conducter?

Is a tire a insulator or conductor?
A tire is an insulator.
Is a Frying pan a conductor or an insulator?
A frying pan would be a Conductor :)
Are tires a conductor?
is a bike tire a insulater or conducter
Is a dollar bill an insulator or a conductor?
A dollar bill is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well because it is made of paper, which is a non-conductive material.
Is masking tape a conducter or insulator?
Masking tape is an insulator because it is designed to be non-conductive and is commonly used to protect surfaces from electrical conductivity.
