Why are car tires not made of a color other than black?

67 viewsOtherPhysics

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?

I somewhere read that red and blue tires (probably other colors too) were used for gangs to mark the territory by doing donuts and burnout’s on the roads.

And at one point colourful tires were banned in the us.
