It takes about 7 gallons of oil to make a standard car tire, while larger truck tires require roughly 22 gallons.

 

Breakdown of Oil Usage in a Standard Tire

 

• Synthetic Rubber Production: About 5 gallons of oil are needed to create the synthetic rubbers (such as butadiene and styrene derived from petroleum) that make up a large portion of the tire. Natural rubber makes up the remaining share (roughly 30%).

• Manufacturing Process: About 2 additional gallons of oil are used to fuel the energy required to prepare the materials and assemble the tire.
