Do you know WHY tyres are Black ?

Carbon black protects the tire from the damaging effects of UV light and ozone, two known elements that contribute to the deterioration of the tire. And because carbon black makes the tire stronger, it leads to a more reliable drive.

Probably to alert some people that there might be a question to be made.

Black Tyres Matter 

[jaywalker2]

I knew a guy who launched a start-up in Thailand aimed at making colored bicycle tires. The only way he could do it was to put a thin colored skin over the black tire.  He was never able to work the kinks out and the company went belly up.

I always learn from Tik Tok.  Especially about Tires.

 

Tires also cause enough particle pollution to kill millions......

 

and made so they will not last.

 

and if a slave working in a rubber plantation, well, just don't think about that stuff because those people are also dying for profit
