Imagine confusing Tigers and Lions and claiming BIG CAT micro-pussies are causing problems all over the world!!!

Tigers are different and Lions are different. They are big cats but different species have different habitats and habits.

So dont mix Plastics and Rubbers when they are chemically different and may have different manufacturing processes.

Was that really hard to understand ?

I worked at a tire factory. Half the rubber used in tires is synthetic rubber, which is made from plastic. Your car tires are not made from 100% natural rubber from a tree.

Synthetic rubber is not plastic. It is from petrochemicals but not the same chemical substance.

A plastic is just a material made from polymers, you are the one adding artificial limitations on what polymers can be used. The belts in tires use both nylon and polyester which are both plastics by anyone's definition. So even by your strict definition, tires are made up, at least in part, by plastic.
