Tyre (Sour)

Tyre Sour, also known as Sour Tyre or sour tire fermentation, refers to a process where natural fermentation produces a tangy, acidic flavor reminiscent of sourdough. This can occur when fermented microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, break down components in the tire’s rubber or residues, creating a sour taste. It’s an uncommon phenomenon and typically indicates contamination or degradation, often associated with improper storage or aging. In general, “tyre sour” isn’t a culinary term but more related to the chemical or microbial changes that can happen in rubber materials, leading to an undesirable sour smell or taste.
