Died out like how Boomers will die out in 10+ years.

They looked stupid so people stopped buying them. Give it a new years and black people will start putting them on their cars again. Then you can be a wigger.

>still 10+ more years
JUST

The world's supply of whitewalls went to Chinese military vehicles.

White walls tires were made by Natural rubber for most of the tire (the good ones had zinc which caused the tire to be white.) but natural rubber has horrible tread life, so they would put a high carbon Rubber for the tread which caused black tread.

they are hard to keep clean and look like shit once they get curbed

They are still around. But only in certain older tyre sizes.
Some places will do custom 'whitewalling' on your existing tyres

Why were they there in the first place?

Niggers ruin everything

yeay, can't wait for the pinnacle of millennial car design.

DUDE they got expensive!

My first car was a 1960 ford falcon, I figured white walls would look good and match the car well. theyre over $100 more then my regular goodrich tires and not made for handling of anykind.

I am still butt hurt over this

>just white paint

Bah. Boring.

Makes sense.
Her name is probably Iceberg.

Because it makes sense that tanks should have stealthy whitewall tires.

They'll make the enemy think that they've time travelled to a 1950's era drive in movie theater.

>literal cuckmobile
you cannot make this shit up

What's the point of a car you can't drive?

>What happened to whitewall tires?

They were from a time before both clear coated paints and metallic paints. The whitewall looked fine with the lacquer and flat solid paints. However, they don't look good with metallic paints.

If you eliminated (made illegal) all metallic paints and all clear coats, then the white walls would have a comeback.

>tfw 10 years until we are completely ruled by minority loving white hating
demotards
>tfw there's nothing we can do about it without boomers
It's been a good run bros

How long until one of these gets LS swapped?

White people in their mini vans ruined white wall tyres and good taste.

This describes the majority of society.

Hence why you mostly see boring no style crap everywhere.

Why are all the trees around it dead?

They went hilariously out of style and would look terrible on a modern car.

The white is natural rubber which is softer than the black vulcanized rubber. Whitewall tires were cheaper because half of them was made of the cheaper natural rubber. As manufacturing costs decreased the price of fully vulcanized tires decreased, making them more popular. They are also a better product since there is less flex in the sidewall.

damn people would've gone nuts for these if they came out in like 2003

good post, nice quads

Houston has a 300 year supply of them

Aм 1 п199eг?
