Rubber in tyres is a mixture of many things; latex, chalk, carbon, rosin, sulphur or some other vulcanization, etc. Such a mixture is quite unlikely to have a single melting point. A softening point may be a better term. This point is easily within the reach of super-heated steam, which is the main process heat. From memory (and that's not too good) it was in the vicinity of 300oF. It is heated with a vulcanizing agent to create cross links of polymerization.

Latex has a lower melting point.

its 170'c for 10 min

answer 2 A complex mixture of materials such as a rubber tyre, will have a broad softening point, not a simple melting point of a single temperature.

A tyre is made of latex, carbon, chalk, vulcanizing agents, and a few others depending on intended service.

The average melting point of a styrene-butadiene eraser is around 45c due to the use of pumice and other materials as a filler.

Rubber is a natural polymer and polymers usually don't have a sharp melting point on heating rubber becomes decomposed.

it starts flowing at 200 Celsius so the melting point must near it.

When does rubber melt?

It doesn't. Tire rubber (and rubber in general) has vulcanized properties that keep it from melting. The only way you can accuire melted rubber is to have it ordered form somewhere that sells it.

How far can a rubber band be stretched before it breaks?

This depends on the size of the rubber band, the materials and impurities in the rubber band, and the speed at which you stretch it, as well as the conditions that the rubber band has been under.
