Car tires have been black since the car production began, of course North America and to some extent the rest of the world went through a white wall craze but that tapered off eventually, so why are tires black? Why can’t we have red tires, pink tires, or fruity loopy colored tires? These are the hard questions that have been asked at Qingdao based Double Star Tire Company’s board meetings over the past few years, it seems the company has reacted well to the suggestions put forth to it and plans to make a series of colored tires – blues, red, greens, pink and yellows, plus some khaki colored ones for the military sorts or militia sorts that need to camouflage their vehicles.
Double Star have already applied for patents for its Rainbow Tires and they should be on the market very soon according to reports.
