Where to buy coloured road tyres?


L.T.G

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for new tyres for my fixie.

but I'd like something with an orange side wall, or some orange in it.

Complete orange ones are available ( what I'm using now)

But they're not the greatest tyres. They LOOK great... just don't last.

So I'd prefer a decent tyre with a some colour, if there is such a thing?

In the 90's. As you come in on your left!

 

Seriously though, not many good tires that are worthwhile that come in a color anymore.

I saw coloured tires at the bike shop that forms part of the Mica next to Eastgate earlier this week. Can't specifically say whether they had orange and what brand, but they definitely had coloured sidewalls.

I tried the Serfas with orange stripes and they were made of Swiss cheeses. I also tihnk there is a Maxxis model (Detonator?) but I am not sure how good they are.

Some people swear by Deonator tyres, I found them to attract punctures!

Thanks for the feedback ...

My best bet so far is following Crow's advice and getting a DeLorean

The latest Continental GP4000s does comes with color side-wall variants.

 

However, those tyres are sold out faster than Justin-Bieber concert tickets (in wiggle.com if you want to wait for the next batch)

My Vitoria rubinos came in green and they have been great, long lasting and not one puncture. They offer some colors, look into them.

Saw some fully coloured tyres at crown cycles a few months back, it was conti ultra sports but they only had bright yellow and lime green I think

I have these on my bike.  Got over 8000kms out of the first pair.  Replaced with more of the same and still going strong.  Maybe 2 punctures in over 14000kms.
