Now there's gotta be some fuzzy logic explanation to this, But white wall tyres on military vehicles I never did see.

White wall tyres were only applied on vehicles used in military parades. It was a common practice in Warsaw Pact countries.

Sounds a bit like what we referred to as 'Cold War Cam' in the '60s. All our aircraft in Germany were painted white. The message being ... "Hey Ivan ... we're here, we ain't scared of yer, an' we ain't hiding!" Us on the ground weren't too convinced of this logic though, and were quite pleased when the disruptive patterns and hardened shelters returned in the 70's.
I don't think the pilots cared much either way, but I guess if you're training to fly an atomic bomb mission on Moscow, without enough fuel to get home again, you gotta be pretty convinced there just ain't gonna be a war.

I have seen tires painted white privileges n museums to slow down deterioration of rubber exposed to sunlight 24/7.
