What is your guys' opinion on colored tires?
A lot of people nowadays are stepping away from the traditional black tire to ride something with white or colored walls, or even a completely differed colored tire like gum.
Opinions?

I think the colored tires wear down quicker. i had the all red rosses. GONE in 2 months. I was freakin trippin. Then i got some fly tires. Still using em since last christmas.

I had some and i mean.. they wear out. FAST. Like the all colored ones. They use a softer rubber that is more like an eraser than a tire haha I hear the Gum tires are actually pretty good! I wanna get a pair, but i think imma just get all black tires. I wish i could get a pair of those blue aitkens or paths or whatever there was that came out way back still!
Edit: Also, if you are buying colored tires, you really shouldnt care about how long they will last, your bike will look good, and that is why you buy them. Not for quality, but for looks

those gumt tyres are ugly! actually all colored tires are ugly... but if my bike was the right colors i could see using the tan just so it lasted longer. colored walls are cool though. i want those blue fafs!

Took me a while to like the gum tread with black wall. I'd like to see other colors done like red or blue tread with black wall.

I have been running white walls for about 2 years. I'm going back to black soon. After so long you just get tired of it.

I'm wondering if Subrosa's new Speedwall tires will get scuffed up or not.

If you like em then that's cool. I think they look gimmicky and prefer the look of an all black tire. Some white walls aren't so bad. But the gum ones are straight up ew.

I had teal wall fafs and loved em. But decided just to get teal tims and black tires instead of ordering another set. && I think they got discontinued? Idk. Before I decided to get the new rims and tires I tried to get more teal fafs.. nobody had any? Even distros didn't have them

Black, white, and tan. Thats it. I like the gum, but I just couldn't ride them. I hate the Aaron Ross shit. Fucking red and tan tires.

Colored tires look neat but could make for a bad situation. You don't want to get stopped by cops for red marks on the side of a building and be the ONLY person in town with red tires on your bike.
