If you want more narrow ones, you could get these:

But for most riding, I would go with the wider tires.

It's also my experience that when new people decide to get solid color tires, they usually regret it after the tires start looking dirty. Not to mention that many solid color tires are low quality.

This may not seem like a the best idea, but I am quite set on getting coloured tires (although I am debating the colour at this point). Would you happen to have any suggestion for a brand that makes good/average quality coloured tires? (Either white or blue)
