20" Tires..., any other brands beside Schwalbe?
Any body can recommend other tires brands, other than Schwalbe?
there's nothing wrong with their tires, in fact i love them, but... is so dull for the 20" ones, no colours.
the bike 26" or 700cc wheels based bikes, gets so many rich colour choices for tires, but we get just BLACK! so it's a bit boring.
i'll like to customize my bike a bit more, with some coloured tires.
Like White, Yellow, Red, Blue, whatever.... either as just trims or full tire, just something that is visible when you are riding

Continental Grand Prix are good fast road tyres with a nice amber-coloured side wall and black tread.
Pr1mo Comets come in a variety of different widths for the 406 size too and come in all-black or with a creamy off-white sidewall. Both are good makes with a lot of happy users here.
Beyond that I'm not sure of any other 20" tyres with more colour options, beyond the 'Mango Stelvio' and 'White Kojak' special editions Schwalbe make exclusively for Dahon. Unless you want to spend time carving chunks off a BMX tyre.
So as far as I know - Schwalbe are the only maker that do 'real' colour options in 20" road tyres, rather than natural/traditional/whitewall/bmx options. So look them out!
2007 Dahon Mu XXV special edition with white Kojak 406 tyres
2004onwards Dahon Speed Pro with Mango [orangey-yellow] Stelvio tyres.
You can definitely get the mango tyres without buying the whole bike from some suppliers - try a big Dahon dealer - I have a pair of mangos on my Twenty...
PS: I don't know of any special colours in the 451 20" size beyond natural walls on the Pr1mo comet.

There are colorful BMX tyres. EG the Maxxis Hookworm comes in a black/white, as well as a orange/grey.
There are also ones with flame-like patterns of colors, I forget the make.
