Rubber is a natural insulator. You need metal or a different brand of tires.
About 15 years ago, a car maker got reports of people getting static shocked by the cars in an unusually high volume. The problem was traced to the tires; the tire manufacturer had improved the rolling resistance factor of the rubber they used (lower rolling resistance = better gas milage) but the side effect was that they improved the electric insulation factor of the tires so that the vehicle could not dissipate the natural charge that builds up in vehicles as they move through the air.
