it will only be a few more seasons before F1 cars are getting coloured tyres rather than a stripe round the outside.....

the cycling world is going mad for coloured tyres and it won't be long before its the next craze ;)

get in there first..... set trends and not follow them......

how about green??



or blue??




....and just think of the fun you could have at traffic lights :)

The blue ones will go nice with my motor once I get round to painting the odd bits.

Coloured tyres have been about for mountain bikes for years. Back in my youth I was heavily into it, and I've had great, green, red, blue and orange tyres. They all looked good and got attention, but they also wore out in about 6 miles....

Iam sure if I tried hard I could wear out a set of car tyres in 6 miles.....

All they are really I pushing the boundaries of perceived taste - in much the same way as the original smart car did.

They are not really for me, black is fine.

I remember saying that about colour coded bumpers and mirrors twenty five years ago.

I'm pretty sure you have been able to buy these for motorbikes for quite a while too...

I don't like... At least, not on that ranger.
Partly because the ranger is an ugly-as-sin waste of space and partly because they look effing stupid in that colour combo.

Hey Fox, I actualy do like Rangers, in fact I have one in the back of the garage somewhere.

I agree with you though that the one in question may not be in the correct taste.
