Who makes an entirely red tire?
I remember Vredestein making an all orange tire a few years ago, but I don't think that they make an entirely red one- just a black one with red stripes?
Anybody know?

It's not entirely red, but Tufo makes some tires with red tread and black sidewalls, like this one:

Continental has some solid tires, but only in blue, yellow, and orange - no red that I've seen. If you went with a red stripe on the tire, or red sidewalls, there's a lot of options.

Grand Bois makes some salmon-colored tires is that close enough?
although the GB's might be 650b, and wider than normal road tires. but they might make a 700/23 too, not sure.

I have the Conti GP4Ks as well, in red in fact.. but the sidewalls are black.
However, if you can live with black sidewalls, they are very good tires, in addition to the color matching.. and they do look sharp.
here's a quick snap I took of mine earlier today:

freshly mounted. haven't even ridden on them yet.
waiting to get my bike back from the LBS. new headset swap and fork cutdown work. taking them two weeks to finish apparently.

FYI, I found that the Michelin Pro Race 2 is almost entirely red.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
