I've never given much thought to tire manufacturing, but as I read this thread, and the links that were included, the question occurred to me, "what does raw rubber look like and how is it shipped?" I think it comes from a tree, when it is harvested, is it ground up and shipped in bags, curt up like cord wood or pulp wood, or is it shipped in bulk like plastic pellets in a covered hopper?
