Basically, I have to find the stoichiometry of a tyre which we have determined as a surrogate molecule to be C₇₂H₈₆S. I have to determine the conversion of this to Methane as an approximation for a design of a reactor and the calculation of a rate. So I was wondering what equation I could use.

Hundreds of possibilities.
C₇₂H₈₆S => 22 CH₄ + H₂S + 50 C
or ading hydrogen C₇₂H₈₆S + 102 H₂ => 72 CH₄ + H₂S

But I dont think it will go so clear. Probably you will get crack products.
