Tire Question

Hello, Im looking for some new tires for my trek this season.
I'm looking to maybe get some coloured tires, preferably blue or even red

Anybody know of any good tires that come in red or blue???

Well I havn't had much experience with tires at all.
I only got into biking a year ago, and I've only had my trek 4300 since last season.
I ride just some basic single track trails nothing too crazy.
Obviously I'm not going to base my decision on colour alone, I was just wondering if anybody could make some recommendations for some good tires in blue or red?

Panaracer Fires are hands down the best tires ive ever used. and as a plus they come in colors.

panaraces come in like red yellow blue and black sidewalls sometime

one of their pretty good all around tire is the 'fire xc pro'

if your going to put them on yourself remember to put them on facing the right direction.

back tire goes on with the chevrons pointing away from the bike << >>

4300's are pretty cool bikes to start on, have you broken anythng yet?

You don't find that they are slow when you're climbing? I just started using them and, I don't know if it's just psychological, but they seem more difficult to climb with compared to my old tires.

no, My only complaint is that they are a little narrow for a 2.1
