LEGO wheels first came out in 1962.  The oldest wheels had the red 2x2 • wheels
with gray tires, and white 2x4 bricks as axles.

Are you sure about the tires? I'm almost certain that my first wheels had
beige ('off-white') tires, and the gray ones came later. Looking at my pieces,
the gray ones definitely looks newer than the others.

I checked my #314 Wheel Set from 1962 (MIB), and all the tires were gray.
