Reflective sidewall tires work great and can be seen at great distances. I have tested mine with an LED flashlight and they light up a long distance away. I've bought my Conti GP 4000s with reflective sidewalls for about $25 apiece when probikekit.com had them on sale. Worth every penny. Reflective ankle bands are an inexpensive way to add sideways (and rear) visibility. Not only do they light up well, but the motion catches peoples' eyes.
