Do they exist, cos I reckon they'd look the absolute nuts on my T/A build ?

Yes they do/did, Kenda made them.

Been searching the web for a few days now, but can't find any reference to any, past or present.

Just tried a search for Kenda, but nothing doing. At least I now know they were/are out there :santa_afro:

Hi gmac :santa_wink:

When searching don't forget to do both TYRE and TIRE for USA.

On Ginny's http://home.comcast.net/~rinisbikeshop/tires.htm the FT1 looks pretty close to Red & White, pic is a bit poor though....if not you can always paint them.

Hope this helps

Cheers Toady :santa_afro:

I did remember the U.S spelling, but still couldn't find any

Those ones on Ginny's look pretty close, but it could be the pic, like you say, cos they're skinwalls. I guess they might have to do, if I can't find any whitewalls. Don't spose anyone know where you can get hold of whitewall paint ?

Would the paint pens you get in car shops, which are for colouring in the tyre brand name etc do the job?

Have a look at this link

Cheers Sean, but I couldn't access that link

This place has a couple of types http://www.frost.co.uk/productList.asp?catID=58 but I'm not sure how good it would look on a bike tyre. Only 1 way to find out I suppose. Be nice to find some proper ones still though
