Someone may come along and believe this false crap you have posted.

There is no such thing as a 'tire in a raw state'.

Tires made out of natural RUBBER were white. Because of rubber shortages during world war two, synthetics were developed and after the war tires have continued to be made of synthetic materials.

 

Thanks for pointing that out and in such a pleasant manner. Here's a little more on the subject.
