From bicycle to aeroplane… whenever you have seen the tyres, their color would have always been black. Today, if you ask someone a tyre, only black colored tires are printed in his mind. But why does this happen? Why are tires made of black colour, why are they not made red, yellow, blue, green, pink. Today we will tell you the reason behind it and will also tell you whether the tires have always been black. Have they never been made of any other color in the world.
understand history before color
Before knowing about the black color of tyres, you should understand the history of tyres. Its history starts from the year 1800. This was the same period when an artisan named Wheelwright first invented rubber tyres. After this, Charles Mactosh used the liquid extracted from some special trees in Amazon and other places to make tires… which is called natural rubber. But all these tires could not be successful in the market. Later, somewhere in 1839, Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber, from which a successful tire could be made.
where did the word tire come from
The word tire is derived from the French word tirer. Which means puller. Before the tires you are seeing today, humans had made leather, iron and wooden tires in their time. The way the world is changing rapidly and people are adopting cutting edge technology, the day is not far when tires will be made from some other material instead of rubber.
Earlier the tire was white
When the tires were first produced 126 years ago, their color was white. Because the rubber from which they were made was absolutely milky white. However, this material was very weak and could not take the weight of the vehicles properly. That is why later carbon black had to be mixed in it to make it strong, due to which its color turned black. However, it also made the tires extremely powerful and strong, which are used everywhere today.
