White or Yellow, say what ?

Why are you making 30 tires ? I did not know the originals were white or yellow. What wheel rim is available to mount the tires on ?

Tires this color were rather common on cars as well in the teens. The coloring I believe is caused by no coloring added to the natural rubber. I have
also heard of German WW2 AC tires with a pink tinge to them.

we make 30 , because the customer did order 30. If new , the color is like natural rubber ( Kautschuk ) , but in a short time it looks like gray. The original weel rim will fit.
