The India Tire Company, now defunct, was in the early days of tire and rubber making a real pioneer. The technology known as syping and micro syping were developed at India.
The process of combining carbon black with latex (raw rubber) to create harder, stronger molecular strength in tires was developed at India and continues in every tire made to this day. It is the primary reason that all tires are colored black. The carbon causes that, it has never been a matter of aesthetics.
India fell by the wayside due to management not being up to the challenges of expanding the company and possibly due to the idea that Britain would rule India forever and the brand "India" possibly didn't connote what people sought in tires at that time.

Tue, 01 Nov 2011

Subaru BRZ - First Photo Released We’ve had a raft of images of the Toyota FT-86 in the last week or two, but very little on its Subaru sibling – the Subaru BRZ. But now, with the Tokyo Motor Show and the official debut of the BRZ (and the FT-86) looming, we have the first photo of the Subaru offering in the Toybaru project. Developed by Subaru and Toyota – with, it seems, Subaru doing the oily bits and Toyota the styling – the ‘affordable’ sports car from Japan does seem to be a tempting offering.

Will your next new car stop itself?

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

Last week in Park City, Utah, a group of us were discussing the chutzpah that some manufacturers have in charging hundreds of dollars for outboard mirrors that dip downward when the vehicle's placed in reverse. The consensus was, “Since the electric motors in the mirrors are already there, and the computers know the car's set to back up, it's only a line of code. A very expensive line of code.” The European Union seems to be thinking along the same lines.
