Have any color tire as long as it's not black

[Mr.7]

We all know that you want a set of these on your bike


Just think how fun it would be to keep the white tires clean!

And you complained about white wheels?

[RVertigo]

YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I gotta wonder if it does anything bad to the rubber.

[pandy]

No PURPLE!!??  

[RVertigo]

HA HA!!

[Roadstergal]

No PURPLE!!??  

Buy a red and a blue and smush them together.

I'm not good at chemistry and wrenching like you are.

I had all blue tires on my mountain bike once.  They were sweet.

Tomahawk tires...hmm...when you mentioned white tires I thought about white tires on white rims...I could make the bike look like a negative.

Raw rubber when it comes from the tree is a tranlucent flesh colored liquid. The black comes from whatever they add to it or from vulcanization; I'm not sure. :dunno:  I want to think it's ash. But, to add any color doesn't mess with the compound much. Seen white tires on old cars, circa 1920's, and you must have seen colored tires for BMX bikes?

[RVertigo]

I've seen them on BMX...  But...  Tires are a little more important to a moto than on anything else.

I've skimmed the reviews of them and the tester's stated that they weren't that bad. Not as sticky as Dunlop 208's though.

But, think of the red rubber burnout you could do!

A white burnout?

[94suzuki500]

ya i hear they leave colored marks when you burnout.

[Mr.7]

No PURPLE!!??

Yes but they do have orange.
They would go great with you know what

(I promised I wouldn't bring it up for a while)

[crash]

mmm those look delicious

(And that wasn't a while...it was just a moment!)

[Mk1inCali]

I remember from back in my hardcore mtn bike days that the lack of the agent that turns the tire black, called carbon black, does affect the low temp stickiness of the tires.  Ever locked up the pedal brake on a pink girl's bike with white tires vs same size boy's bike with blue frame and black tires?

That's the difference.

[aqxea2500]

They should make a see through tire!!!

[pantablo]

Not as sticky as Dunlop 208's though.

thats not saying much though...

[JamesG]

i think they would get fugly looking after a few hundred miles from road gunk.  They are purely for the pozer set...

There is a reason they started making tires black. As I recall, the first pumatic tires were either natural rubber or white.

[Maduro Mistress]

but they're so cute!

[Dr. Love]

But do they smoke like these?
