Answer Posted / aditya tiwari

The automobile tyres are black in color due to following reasons :

1.)During the Vulcanization along with sulphur
is mixed into the rubber, this strengthens the molecular bond of the rubber and makes it more sturdy and durable, the reason of adding carbon black is because carbon black is available cheaper then any other material.

2.)Black color is good conductor of heat and can absorb the sunrays better, when a vehicle is out in open under the sun, the wear and tear will be very minimal as compared to any other color.

3.) During the run of the vehicle, the tyres tends to get hot and the specialty of the black color is that it does absorb heat fast and can return it back to the roads as well, so the temperature though hot but still remains balanced.
