During the process of vulcanisation of rubber to make it sheer resistant to make tyres out of it, a certain proportion of carbon is mixed into it. Without this procedure the tyres will not be able to withstand the friction n stress of the road. This carbon is responsible for giving tyres the characteristic black colour.. When ozone combines with ultraviolet light from the sun, it attacks the tire polymer. To prevent tires from rapidly deteriorating, a sacrificial absorber is used, "carbon black" - which, fittingly, makes tires black
