In the early 1960’s Goodyear decided to develop an illuminated tire. They were made with a transparent rubber so you could see directly through the tire. The tire was built with lights mounted on the inner rim. At night you were able to see them glowing brightly! These tires were left in the prototype stage because the rubber was too expensive. It was too expensive to power the bulbs and the lights became invisible once the tires got dirty.

Charles Goodyear came up with the perfect process to make tires 100 years before cars were even made.

The company Goodyear was not founded by Goodyear it is just a homage to his process.

Metals were added to the vulcanizing process to help push things further along and one metal that made a dramatic difference was zinc.

When Zinc was added to the vulcanizing process it caused the rubber to be tough, but it also turned the rubber white.

The Michelin Man is a white blob because he is supposed to be a representation of the rubber vulcanized with zinc.
