Last nite I read info that rubber tires, even auto tires, don't protect vs lightning. In autos it's supposedly the metal body acting as a "Faraday cage" that protects; not rubber tires preventing grounding. OTOH your strategy makes sense as long as shelter is close enough to reach. BTW if they start making passenger cars out of carbon fiber (as with many race cars)--would that affect Faraday cage protection?
