Gumwalls though, would be better if they were skinwalls...
These are skinwalls >> http://www.bmx-guru.com/servlet/the-16083/snakebelly-skinwall-bmx-tire/Detail

I have ordered a set and will get them when my mate ships my bars over. I will let you know what they are like but I would assume really good as they are made by Cheng Shin

I will be impressed if they are skinwalls (hard to tell but going by the join between tire tread and sidewall I would say gumwall), keep us posted though

He does make the point in his description Marty , I quote ' these are skinwalls not gumwalls' $:-\$ . They look the same type of sidewalls as the re issue comp 3's from Tioga to me .

Like you say , be interesting to see what they are like when they arrive .

You're right, they looked like skin walls in my phone, well the top picture did.

It'll be interesting to see what the bmx-guru tyres are like, i'm about to give up on finding a decent CP or Mongoose set...

If anyone is after a set of proper original 1980'S Snakebelly Skinwalls I have some Panaracer Snakebellys both 20 X 1.75 as fitted to the old Haro Sports and FST's.

A bit more than I had hoped is the short answer
I brought 3 pairs to get free US shipping and work out about £50 a pair landed

Bmx guru won't ship to UK so you need a contact state side
They took about a week door to door allowing some slack for my mate to get to post office and forward on.

I think bmx guru has plenty left its just getting over here ...
