Fascinating read about the chemistry/technology of tires.

Racism, of course.

'Cause carbon black is cheaper than titanium dioxide as a filler?

Hey, how exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does the sun set? How exactly does the posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work!? It just does. It just does.

I thought they were originally black so they would match all those Model Ts.

But seriously, everyone knows it's just a dog whistle,  to indicate that black people (of color) must be kept down.

I visited a chemical plant site that had carbon black production on site.  Pretty much everything had a coating of it that you didn't notice until it came off on your hand.  Interesting to note the early versions were worse.

The earliest model T’s had white tires. I had a late model T (1927 touring car) but the early museum quality cars that trailered to the rallys and I saw exhibited at international tours wore white treads.

If you drink milk while driving a car with black tyres you are a double racist.

If you drink milk while driving a car with black tyres you are a double racist.

If you drink chocolate milk while driving a car with white tires what does that indicate?

^^^^You are a virtue signaling racist.

There is a fork lift where I work that has all white tires.
