I don't know if this is true, but when I was doing training in the tyre industry, one of the leaders liked to ask, which company, globally, manufactures the most tyres? obvious answers included Michelin and the like. Their answer? Lego. apparently they pump out more rubberized tyres than any other car tyre manufacturer
again, not sure if actually true, but it makes me think there a lot of wheels out there. however, Lego also makes things with doors...
This is a true fact, Lego even has the Guinness world record for the number of tires produced per year.

I wonder what the rubber volume is like in comparison rather than numerical volume.
The materials are different, but a Lego tire is like 2.5 grams. A car tire is, let's say, 10kg - some are lighter, others heavier.
Michelin alone produces like 200 million tires a year, Vs Lego's 300 million, so car tires use more materials by several orders of magnitude, it's not even close.
