Tough 700x28 tires in red??
I just got my shiny new blue Dawes SST from BD. Assembled, took to LBS to double-check my work (wheels weren't tight enough -- I need to buy a real wrench), took her for a spin. All in all, it was a good ride; but I'd like to throw some commuter 28c tires on it.
I'm looking at the Conti Gatorskins, but I'd prefer something red. Can anyone recommend a tire that meets these criteria:
* 700x28c
* red (or at least lots of red highlights)
* tough (intended for city riding)
Thanks!

Got Panaracer Tserv 28s in Red on me rear (singlespeed tho)
Great rollin tire! Have them on me beater for about 3 months now.

Thanks for the tips! I'll go with the T-Servs. The SOMA's look nice, but they're $16 more per tire, so that's a big chunk o' change for the SST beater.
Gracias!

The T-Servs were the Randos before they made Randos. They are marketed as 'messenger tyres." I have been wanting to try a set (with a matching T-Serv Protex in the front), but Im still working on the tyres that I have now (Rando in the back, Vittoria Rubino Pro in front, still going after 2 years, well, not the Rando)
