Post by: mark 2 on January 27, 2009, 12:13 AM: Hello young Matthew, nice ride, liking that, looks swish ;)

I think maybe black tyres, one less shade in the mix with there being a difference in frame / tyre colour. If in doubt stick with black unless your a maverick?

Thinking about it, those tyres might look good on my XL24...are they a dear do?

Post by: diesel on January 27, 2009, 08:14 AM: Nice Matt, Very Nice!

Black Tyres look best - how's the floval feeling about being wheeless ;)
