I understand that carbon is black so we end up with black tires. But black has max conductivity, so wouldn’t there be a possibility of overheating and bursting? Why don’t we have coat it with coloring agents so it’s with a color that’s thermally less conductive?
In: Physics
The thermal load from the sun is almost nothing compared to the heat generated by friction while driving down the road. So heat would make little to no difference to the longevity of the tire.
