Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lookin for some blingy tires

I have a Tarmac Expert, which is pretty much all black and some blue. It looks cool and like the looks of it, but I'm in need of some new tires and I was thinking about something different in terms of the color of tires.

I really like the green tires the Cervelo test team uses, but not sure that specific tire is what I want.

Anybody got some pictures of bikes with colored tires different than the colors of the bike? Post them up!

My bike looks very similar to this:

The tires look similar to these Vittoria Rubino. I have a set they last pretty long and roll very nice.

Those look pretty good. Definetly up for consideration.

What if I went with yellow tires on the Tarmac above?

My bike has black/red Michelin Oriums and I discovered after mounting them that the bike had to have red somewhere else as well. Changed the bar tape.

Good for you! Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward a solution....
Tires should be black.

Worst tire ive ever used. I guess you get what you pay for at 8 dollars a pop.

If you really want them, I have a few pairs floating around somewhere.

I got Rubino Pro III reds on my Cervelo, they are fast and durable. although am tired of the red tires I may just go black with same tires when these wear out.

this was taken today in the mountains , did a ride event involving a 1/4 mile dirt road we all navigated 2X tires where fine rocks and all
