To all white tyre or not?

[That Swan Guy]

Can't decide what to do with the Knight and it's Skyways. The Twin Halos (currently fitted) are fookin huge but I'm not so keen on the black wall. My alternative is the all white Cheng Shins.

What do you think?

What type/colour wheels have you got Nick??

personally not a fan of white tyres (mainly because they don't stay white for very long)
if you have to have some though what about these? http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Comp-3-tread-BMX-CRUISER-skinwall-tire-24-X-175-WHITE-143G-24175-6WIS.htm
would break up the colour a bit

NNNNNNoooooooo

Keep them as they are or put gum walls on

[brummie]

blue and tan would look nice

I think the all white cheng shins would look great Nick, and a hark back to the GT shinko tyres of old

Personally I think the all white tyres look cheap and wrong but up to you fella

dmr do black and white tyres now with tanwalls for 24 and 26 inch wheels.

The thing is most gumwall tyres have comp 3 tread which isn't very freestyle IMO. The later GT world tour models had all white tyres. It's a retro build.

ok, its only showing black with tanwalls but the tread on dmr site shows they are very 'freestyle' freindly tread.

Better tell these guys. Plenty of freestylin was done on comp 3's. I was just having a look through and was finding it hard to get a pic of dominguez using anything else.
I know GT had their own tyres though.
We get so particular with how we like to vision our builds as 40+'s today that i think we sometimes forget a bit. I know i do and trawling through the old mags still makes me think.

Return those plastic things to the wheelchair they belong to and build some nice chrome wheels and put gumwalls on.

DMR's are too wide for the frame, that's the problem with the Halos. 2.1 is too wide!
Although these have just popped up!
