The story I was told is that modern black wall tires came about because Specialized was trying to copy some Japanese tires and the factory they contracted with wasn't able to reproduce the amber sidewalls, so they just covered the whole thing with black rubber and said this is the new thing, and from them on they just made all their tires in black.

And how is this different from the ancient blackwall tires that were seen so often on English 3 speeds?
