I think the red tires will likely look awkward with the red highlights on the rim. White walls might be a better match, except you'll have to maintain them like a show car.
I gave this some thought, and i think white would be a pretty cool option, the more I think about it the more I like it better than red. What if I throw in something COMPLETELY different, like say Orange.

The OEM tire is a Bontrager T1 700 x 23c.
I will definitely post some pics. Did you do any upgrades to your Trek yet? I must say I love the bike.
