According to my father-in-law (a plastics engineer), carbon black is added to tires to help prevent damage from UV light.
Would YOU drive a car with pink tires?

Some probably would. In this day of advanced chemistry & rubber compounds, I'm surprised we don't see someone offering colored tires.

They do for bicycles. And there are tires available with colored stripes on the tread.
I'll take mine in plaid, please.

Hm. Father does not always know best, I guess.
His specialty is blown films. Perhaps his knowledge of styrene-butadiene has deteriorated over the decades.
Thanks.
