FACT OF THE DAY: WHY TIRES CONTAIN A BLACK COLOR

If you look at cars often (on the street, or maybe in the garage) you might notice one similarity between all cars. One similarity is the color of the tire. Every car in the the world has a black tire. The tires are made of polymer, so the UV/ozone rays from the sun can cause devastating effects. In order to prevent them from getting any damage, the tire companies must add carbon black to the tires, since black absorbs UV and ozone rays.
