The only way you can get hold of a pair of those Ron's is to buy a 90 grand Spark LTD, or is that the RC. Most tyre companies produce once off batches of coloured tyres for pro teams.

 

Maxxis went orange for Maxxis/ Rockymountain, (well when they were Maxxis/ Litespeed anyway), Conti did some green and orange units for Topeak/ Ergon and Schwalbe went white for Swiss Power/ Scott. Scott presumably then paid Schwalbe a large amount of money to get some white units for their top end Spark and Scale models. In essence a marketing/ sales gimmick.

 

The only aftermarket tyres that spring to mind and are white are Geax. They produce white Suagaro, (or how ever it's spelt). Available, each,  at most LBS's for the price of two standard 13" car tyres.

My 2c worth I had a white seat/seat post bars and grips and for Xc riding it is admin one or two muddy rides and you shining bling whote bike goes a distrubing Poo brown, I would hate to see what a set of tires looks like after a muddy ride.

Hmmm, I hear you... Was thinking the same thing, dig the white but reckon on a practical outlook it would not work really...

Thanx for the explanation, got a price on the Geax think they said R1200 for the set.

No worries. I think TCRCarbon was actually selling a set for 400 bucks.

I just bought a commencal bike from a fellow hubber with new WHITE rocket ron's (exactly the one in your picture). It has done less than 50km. I will swop you for a set of new black rocket rons. The bike is completely white with white rims and frame and think it would look better with black tires.

I have set and they stay amizingly clean. verry light and traction is not bad. done about 200 k,s and not a flinch.
