Some of the best traction tires I ever used were retread tires with walnut shells in the rubber compound. No longer able to find them but WSP used them for years also!!

I used to work for Goodyear Tyres and all the compounds that go into making the tyres were coded so that nobody would know the recipe apart from the chemical engineers I guess. I wonder if Walnut shells was one of them (in powdered form)
