[ "Whitewall Tyres- Iconic tyres of the pastOver the period, tyres and wheels have evolved and various innovations have resulted in the best kind of tyres for the customers. But, still, numerous vintage cars and classic cars of the fifties make use of a tyre which has white colour sidewalls. These tyres now are used in classic cars and are known as Whitewall tyres.Car lovers have experimented with numerous methods and tools to make their car look stylish. From car body colour to accessories sizes, car owners have experimented with numerous techniques that got outdated with time. But it was the whitewall tyres which gained huge popularity. Generally, the tyres manufactured were dull and darker in colour. But the presence of natural rubber in the tyre resulted in easy wear and tear of the tyre. Thus, tyre manufacturers experimented with various chemicals to enhance the strength of the natural rubber. One such ingredient was zinc oxide. The zinc oxide was brighter and it was found to affect increasing the traction of the tyre. The presence of zinc oxide made the tyres Grindley Brook entirely white. But still, the durability of the tyres did not enhance. Thus, experimentation continued and finally, it was a carbon that helped in enhancing the strength of the tyres. Carbon helped in increasing tyre longevity.But adding carbon to the entire tyre increased the tyre cost as the production cost for the tyre increased thus, tyre manufacturing companies added the carbon-based mixture only to the surfaces of the tyre tread. This experimentation resulted in tyres known to be as white sidewall tyres. Later these tyres were further innovated and the only strip of the outer walls of the tyre was made of white rubber and the rest tyre was left in black colour.Whitewall tyres Black Park, are now hardly used in modern car tyres. One can come across such tyres usage only in vintage cars. Thus, many tyre manufacturing companies have stopped manufacturing such tyres. Their manufacturing method is very cumbersome and is still based on the old bias-ply method and thus only companies like Coker Tire and Vogue TyreToday whitewall tyres manufacturing begins with the development of the special mixture comprising synthetic rubber and natural rubber, curing agents, and other chemicals. This material when developed is extracted in the form of sheets of and polyester fabric in layers is applied to these sheets with the help of steel rollers. Now, this sheet is cut into a specified size, width, and angle and is rolled in the tyre building machine. The tyre is then moulded, cured, and inspected. A special whitewall rubber is attached on the sidewall and the tyre is packed for sale into the market.Modern tyre manufacturing companies make use of the back wall of the tyre and add an extra whitewall to it with the help of white rubber. This kind of modification to the tyre is found to be disadvantaged in terms of increasing the heat production, reducing the material thickness, and in case of puncture at the sidewalls become unfixable. Thus, such whitewalls tyres have become unpopular and a thing of the past in modern vehicles.Tyres have witnessed a long journey of customization. Over the years new methods, new looks, and new techniques were implemented to enhance the tyre performance and simultaneously make them appealing so that they add value to your vehicle" ]
