No they shouldn't.
As someone who has a significant amount of rubber in their collection, I can say that it is the most gut wrenching material to have on expensive collectibles.
Every time I pick up any of my vintage Transformers I wonder if today will be the day that the tires will crack or crumble. I worry if my Hot Toys Batman figures will leak, melt or crack. I wonder if the tires on my 1/6 Tumbler are eating away at the table it is on or if I put it on plastic will it fuse with that instead.
Cleaning them is a pain too, especially if you have a dog or a cat.
If done right, I am all for plastic tires. Sure they might not sound as smooth as rubber on a hard surface, but why the hell would a grown man care about that anyway? It's not something any 5 year old would care about. It's not like we demand automobile paint on our toys or glass for windows, so why is that expectation there for rubber?
