ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a vulcanized rubber substrate such as, for example, a tire and a colored, crosslinked, non-black, non-staining, opaque, rubber composition layer therein such as, for example, a colored sidewall. In one preferred embodiment, the invention relates to such a tire wherein said white sidewall is partially colored with a contrasting color prior to vulcanization. The color is desirably applied after mixing with a plasticizer for the white sidewall composition. During vulcanization the color penetrates and colors the visible portion of the white sidewall composition.
