To be fair ADQ&A responses can be just as flaky as they are sometimes the opinion of the editor of the week. There is no extant authority on how you should interpret the rules. Only SJG could have done so and they had their chance 30 years ago.

CW text is full of poorly considered flavour text that implies magic properties that was apparently never considered when written. I read "standard rubber" as simply accentuating the difference between the armour quality plastic that makes up the core rather than comparison with other tyre types.

What are the implications of only part of the tire being fireproof? If you can set fire to the tire because of the non-fireproof bit then there is no point in the rest of it being fireproof. My take would be either the tire is fireproof or it is not.

You can't be a little bit pregnant.
