L.T.G Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 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? Thanks
Iwan Kemp Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 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.
DOdM Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 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.
CAAD4 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 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.

shaper Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 maybe speak to your LBS to see if they can organise colours.. CWC have lots of pics of different manufacturers with coloured tyres http://www.cwcycles.co.za/catalog/wheels/tyres-road Am sure your LBS might be able to organise some michelin, vittoria or vredestein... else speak to CWC
L.T.G Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks for the feedback ... My best bet so far is following Crow's advice and getting a DeLorean
The_black_stig Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 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)
JohnnyD. Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Vittoria has quit an vast range on colours in the Zaffiro and Rubino models.
GoLefty!! Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Michelin Pro Race series come in a variety of colour banding
L.T.G Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 who stocks the Michelins and Vittorias? Anyone local?
Brickleberry Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 My Vitoria rubinos came in green and they have been great, long lasting and not one puncture. They offer some colors, look into them.
Mountain_Goat Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 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
L.T.G Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Managed to find these at CWC this week....can't wait to see what they look like on the bike!!
Dazshell Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Managed to find these at CWC this week....can't wait to see what they look like on the bike!! photo (1).JPGI 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.
