White-wall tires trace their origins back to the origins of tire manufacturing history. The earliest rubber tires were all-white due to the color of natural rubber. In 1910, BF Goodrich began to include a substance called carbon black in their tires to strengthen the rubber composition and improve wear resistance, giving tires their telltale black pigment. At first, other manufacturers tried to save costs by only adding carbon black to the tread area, resulting in tires with black treads and and white sidewalls. White wall tires became popular for luxury and custom cars due to their stylish appearance, and remained in fashion for several decades even as all-black tires became the norm. Many roadsters, sedans, and classic pickups during the 1950s could be seen on white wall tires.
White-wall tires gradually fell out of favor after 1962, partly due to requiring high maintenance, as well as the rise of low-profile tires. However, many tires today recreate the iconic white-wall aesthetic using a thin white stripe, solid white letters, or outlined white letters. Here at Discounted Wheel Warehouse, we have great bargain deals on stylish white-wall tires for classic and modern vehicles on the road today.
