| Blackwalls...whitewalls...white stripes...blackwalls...the evolution of tyre style has come full circle. When I was young, it wasn't too difficult to tell which cars were purchased sans upgrade options; the tyres were conspicuously naked. If your car was adorned with whitewalls, you needed to add at least one hour to the Saturday Simonizing ritual, solely to keep those tyres looking showroom pristine. Canadian Tire had an abundance of cleaners and unguents exclusively for whitewall tyre beautification. |
