I know Kenda has them. What is another good tire brand or specific tire that comes in black and red? (not a tubular, and race training and racing preferred). Thanks

specialized armadillo elites

Vittoria, Michelin, Vredstein, Continental, and Hutchinson all make tires that fit this description.

Supplies needed:

1. Black tire
2. Red paint
3. Paint brush
4. Hand to hold paint brush
5. 2nd hand to spin wheel

Haha knowing my skills with a paintbrush those would end up looking like a**

Mich PR3s.

I believe Schwalbe Ultremos also come in red/black. As do Conti GP4000 (but not with the Black Chili).

Vittoria Rubino Pros

Vredestein Tricomps...

And one of the BF favs...Continental GP 4000s

Yep those look like what i am looking for. Do you like those tires? I have vittoria tires on my bike now, don't really like them (just plain black). Nice bike by the way.

Michelin Krylion Carbons.

These. Awesome tires and fit your color needs.

I love the Conti GP4000s. I switched to them from Mich Pro3s because the Pro3s were wearing so quickly and I starting flatting too frequently for my taste. The Pro3s were an amazingly smooth riding tire, but the 4000s feel (at least to me) like their equivalent and they seem to wear less quickly. I've done a century on these, and a couple of longer century-prep rides (50 - 75 miles) on the Continentals and have been very happy with them.

If you do a BF search on GP4000s, you'll get a ton of hits, and I'm pretty sure you'll find most of them are positive regarding the tires. I'd also suggest checking ProBikeKit.com for them...they occasionally run sales on them. I got the pair for less than one tire would cost at any of my LBS, and that included shipping.

Yeah...I really like them!
