All White Tires
I searched earlier Threads to see if there was information about All White Tires. What I have been told is T's ( Early Brass) came standard / offered all white tires. What is the word on these. ,
Thanks |

Re: All White Tires
Natural rubber is grey. Very early tires were grey but not consistent in shade of grey, then the grey was chemically altered to be white. During WWI, around 1915, the material used to bleach the rubber became necessary for the war effort so carbon was added to make the rubber black.
White tires were not an option or something special at the time. White or grey tires would be correct for the 1904 model C to the left.
