RADsters,
Looking for some tyres for a rider; after NOS White ones unless I can be convinced otherwise.... :-\
Don't want to go beyond 20 quid for the pair if I can help it. Looking at a pair of Kenda Kontacts; any thoughts / experience of these, and any alternatives? ???
All input gratefully received. :daumenhoch:
Thanks,
Richard.

you wont get nos anything for 20 a pair i dont reckon mate :-\

If its for an OS ride fella then one colour tyres will look gash, try a set of Xposure Chas 2.125 and Dave 1.75 for bargain old school looking new school treads, Im running them and so's spen and hootski, good tryres you could rum a pair of daves as they have a more oldschool feel tread and the thinner look looks better front and back, they look like an oddy barefeet tyre

Interesting input, Jaymz, but I specifically wanted to move away from two colour tyres (gum / white walls) to try something different out.
I know Spen raves about the Chas and Daves; can you Daves Front and Rear? The do look like nice rubber. :smitten:
Cheapest place to buy 'em? :knuppel2:

True, mate, but I ain't too fussed if they ride well and look the part. :daumenhoch:

£13 each from Evans.
They are going on Lime Green Tuffs if that helps the debate?
I have had a nice recommendation of Haro Darts from badbaldie, which though not white, are perfect for my project. :-\
So many choices........ :D

I've got a pair of NOS white socks from the 80's, you can have them for 20 :LolLolLolLol:

such brightly coloured tuffs can carry one colour tyres, ive seen blue tyres on white that look nice.
Childhooddream has a pair of Blank tyres in white for £13 http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=127727.0 might be worth grabbing them cheap to try out your theory, they are damn good tyres too, i had a set on one of my new schools

Thing is about white tyres is they don't stay white for long, ::)

Rich ,, the reason why Brummie is puzzled with your choice ,, its the term NOS in your post
NOS meaning New OLD stock ( Old stock that hasn't been used ) i.e 80's
Not New stock :daumenhoch:
Don't worry ,, your not the first and you surely ain't gonna be the last to use the term unknowingly :D
Good luck with the search fella ;) :daumenhoch:

Rich ya loon :daumenhoch:
White tyres will look gash after 2mins outside or in a park bud, so stick with a pair of Xposure Daves as Jimbo said for the o/s look but n/s grip if you're gonna ride it....... :shocked: :2funny:

LiferBMX was where I got mine from - give him a shout, unless of course Sir Stodgy of Rad stocks them?
Might cost you a tiny bit over £20 to get them posted due to it being a small order though bud, but get in touch with Sid as he might be interested in a pair as well :daumenhoch:
Fookin' white tyes...... fookin' newbies, all the fookin' same, they never learn........ :knuppel2: :uglystupid2:
