Bike Tire
What are some ethical (bike) tire companies?
I am looking for bike tire companies that do not lop of the hands of their workers and slash and burn rain forest to start rubber plantations.
Ok so both the other answers say about what was on my mind when I read your question.
I did a little digging instead and you can look here for a serious reply on Continental Corporate Social Responsibility Report.

BTW -- Continental makes fantastic road bike tires. And yes they are synthetic compound called Black Chili.
