Hippy tires would be made from Hemp Oil.

With Hemp fiber belts.

You mean Goodyear could eventually replace the Polyglas tire by something like Polyhemp?

Apparently, compositesmanufacturingmagazine.com/2012/05/well-can-natural-fibers-compete-fiberglass/, the issues are with bonding and an hydrophilic tendency.

I've read several times of vehicles' wiring being ruined by mice and rats because wire sheathing is now made out of soybeans or some such edible.

I can't wait for soy-tires.

LOL, now I've got an idea to develop tires made from rhino tusks; a renewable resource.

Even before their sheating was made out of the "green" stuff, mice and rats already ruined it.
