Mid School tan wall tires???
« on: July 11, 2011, 02:43 PM »

Got some lovely NOS Kenda Kontact but when they came they had orange walls and orange and gold is not good  :buck2: so they need to go and I need some more before MK... any one got any ideas?

TIA  :daumenhoch:

Primo vmonsters (park) or dirtmonsters (track) leap to mind but they're nigh on impossible to find in amberwalls

Readily available in blackwalls though...  :-\

Or rainbow label comp 3's if its gonna be a race build?

Edit... just noticed that's no race bike...  :crazy2:

The tyres are nice, just dunno about with all that gold:

 ;)


Joking aside (if that actually was funny), they're not period correct, but for a rider some Fit FAF tyres? Bit pricy though. The Captains got some Comp III copy tan wall tyres in the for sale section?

Man I don't want to me seeing big Dave up in my thread Dan  ;D

Well thats my back up plan as I have FIT FAFs on my Sport and I will be putting some Kenda compIII type tyres on for MK to race her so the fits can go on the Haro... but I'd rather have something on the right era like the Kontacts are  :(

I never used to be this anal.

I fookin love my tan-wall v-monsters, I've riden them at Leicester a few times. Bought them from USebay and haven't seen them since. Cost me a lot as loved v-monsters but hated the black-wall.

I'll swap them for a set of white Arayas....  ;-D

(sorry bud, couldn't help it - they're not for sale)

Might be easier to find some KHE Lamello's or Haro Multisurface in Tanwall if the Primo's are thin on the ground  :daumenhoch:

Now then, Now then, Now then, Rt. Hon Brother Ed

I too have the same problem.

I have recently bought a pair of Tioga Power Block tyres for my DirtFoil rider because of how light they are (check and compare on Tioga website...No really)  

Now I'm keeping the tyres but hate the Blackwalls. But I am approaching the problem a different way.

Tomorow I'm going to B&Q to steal a 1" paint brush while my accomplice Jolyon the Crow distracts the Till 'Person' (Usually not able to determine what sex they are) by actually paying for some beige paint.

I shall then mount the tyres on a shitty radial spoke wheel that I found in the Trent . Then I will cut out a big circle (drawn Free Hand) out of some cardboard and stick it to the wheel with some Chuddy. this will leave the Sidewall exposed which I will then paint in B&Q's finest beige.

I am expecting the reults to be a revelation meaning we can all run whatever tyres we like and make them 'Tanwall'....
