Coloured Tyres

[Deano]

Sifting through the net and I found these - might have to get an orange set, just to match my sexy wheels :whistle:

[Sniper]

Ewww, I wouldn't be keen on that.

[MSTRS]

Go with Lemons (say the bells of St Clemens)

[skelstar]

they would look f*cken ugly after 200m of riding when they had picked all the shit up off the road.

[Big Dave]

Dig it - looks like they have some to match mine too :blah:

[bugjuice]

yeah, seen these before. Also saw a review on them too. They colour tyres black during the manufacture, so all they've done here is swap the black for another colour. Doesn't make them any less grippy or 'plastic' (which I just can't get out of my head).

The review I read them on also pitched a pair of 'regular' tyres (forget which brand) on a track vs these tyres. The coloured tyres held their grip pretty damn well, and from what I remember, the test rider said he'd buy a pair.. so can't be bad..

[Hitcher]

Hmmm. Puce...

[Deano]

Dig it - looks like they have some to match mine too :blah:

Hahaha.

You have to admit though - a blue, green or orange burnout mark would look pretty cool. Coloured smoke ? :blip:

[Smorg]

They look like lifesavers

[Sniper]

They look like lifesavers

Big, ugly, rubbery lifesavers

Go on do it...I dare you :weird:

[Pancakes]

They look so poo. I can't think of a bike that would look better with them, in fact I think I'd vomit if I saw them on a bike. But then I like stuff that isn't shit so it's only my opinion.

[sAsLEX]

Go on do it...I dare you :weird:

i dont think he has the minerals

[Deano]

i dont think he has the minerals

silicates etc ?

[Deano]

Go on do it...I dare you :weird:

:gob:


I think I'd vomit if I saw them on a bike.

Vomit away.... .. :killingme

[placidfemme]

I think it's good to have that extra option... everyones tastes are different and I'm sure those tyres would look good on some bikes... would just need to get over the inital shock of "OMG you've got pink tyres" lol

Personally I wouldn't be keen on them... unless they were dark blue... which is close to black... so why bother...

[White trash]

Just so we're all clear, they're retreads. Or re-moulds to be fair. Which are a bead to bead retread.

Get fucked if you think I'm going to put retreads on my 150hp sportsbike.

[bugjuice]

yummy.........
not

[Sniper]

Thats ummmmm. Different

[placidfemme]

yummy.........
not

lol looks like a jelly sweet.... mmm

does retread mean a second hand tyre?

[aff-man]

come on if everyone chips in $5 we could get buggy a set. Then stand around laughing at the bike.

Cheaper than a movie and endless hours of amusment :shake: :shake:

lol.. yeah, ok then.. I'll burn 'em out too, see if we get coloured smoke..

[Sniper]

Coloured burnouts?

[placidfemme]

Coloured burnouts?

But that cages tyres are black

[Sniper]

I can't figure it out either???

[Ixion]

Can you get striped ones ? Or fluoro colours ? Little mirrors moulded into the sidewalls might be nice. Don't suppose they could mould neons in ?

[Marknz]

yea, we were gonna put those on our bucket racers in aussie but they didn't come in small enough sizes. (but then I've always had that problem with rubber :weep: )

And there may be two version / makers of these, the ones I saw in Sydney were definitely that colour all the way through to the inside of the tyre, suggesting they weren't retreads. But I ain't no tyre technician.

[Deano]

yummy.........
not

Mate, you've gone and shown up my photoshop (ahem....'paint') skills !! :slap:

[bugjuice]

it's a fudge job.. I didn 't have time to sort out the shadows of the tyre. Someone wanting 'work' done, came up behind me, so I had to finish up quick..

[Postie]

Fudge job, came up behind you and finish up...........hmmmm what sort of "job" are you doing BJ???

[bugjuice]

it's a..... promo shot.. yes.. a promo shot, and needs retouching..
does look a lot like my bike, doesn't it....?
no, I am doing work, honest..
no, don't call my boss, she knows I'm working hard..

[Marknz]

:apint:

I wonder if they do a blue rinse ?

[oldrider]

Dig it - looks like they have some to match mine too :blah: Hey Dave looking at your pic your chain looks shot. Nice bike. Cheers John.

[outlawtorn]

coloured tyres? :puke:

oh that's too funny :killingme

oh wait here it comes again :puke:

[froggyfrenchman]

If thats the case... i might consider some. would have to see them 1st though

[flash]

do you think they will have glow in the dark ones next?, because i have to admit that would be cool. just think of the green glow trail behind you at top speed

[juzzer]

Goes nicely with the gay 90's leather's.....Disco inferno baby...
If you can't take the piss outta yrself......

[Big Dave]

Hey Dave looking at your pic your chain looks shot. Nice bike. Cheers John.


?!?!? Near new, top of the range, gold, RK XW ring, that i just cleaned?

[pritch]

Just so we're all clear, they're retreads. Or re-moulds to be fair. Which are a bead to bead retread.
Get fucked if you think I'm going to put retreads on my 150hp sportsbike.

I'll second that emotion. The only test I read more or less expressed an idea along the lines that they couldn't believe manufacturers put something like that on the market.

OK on a cruiser maybe, but on anything that would get near a Z rated speed?
Bugger that!

[Big Dave]

If you can't take the piss outta yrself......

.....let me do it.

[inlinefour]

Nope, you would not see those things on my bike, ever. :gob:

[juzzer]

.....let me do it.

lol - outstanding

[placidfemme]

.....let me do it.

its... its... its... pink

[juzzer]

.....let me do it.

Big Dave's new bling bling

[placidfemme]

Big Dave's new bling bling

The red on the tank is a really nice red...

[myvice]

Hot pink on a cruiser with a nice chromed German helmet?
Too cool! :sick:

[Big Dave]

Ha - did you ever see the movie 'Stone' - I'll try and find a pic of the kwaka painted up like that.

10 years ago I was about the only biker who knew how to do this shit. all good.

[juzzer]

Don't ring a bell - sounds like a laugh, was contemplating adding some chrome like the scooters in quadrophenia (classic movie)..but alas me photshop skills are lacking...

[BNZ]

Colour match from your paint....

[marty]

it's a fudge job.. I didn 't have time to sort out the shadows of the tyre. Someone wanting 'work' done, came up behind me, so I had to finish up quick..


so do even the shadows have colour?

[bugjuice]

so do even the shadows have colour?
dull colour, yeah.. nothing is all one shade

[SPman]

come on if everyone chips in $5 we could get buggy a set. Then stand around laughing at the bike.
But......we already do that anyway...........

its... its... its... pink
you have a problem with that?????

Dig it - looks like they have some to match mine too :blah:
And mine.....

[SPORK]

Someone tell me that they also fell off their chair laughing at Deano's mspaint?

[speights_bud]

I can't figure it out either???
I think he may have run over some kind of flare? eh? mebe not.... Hmmmm

I wonder if they do them in metallic? coz some metallic blue ones wouldn't go half bad with my buckets theme... :eek:

[Jantar]

I always fit tyres that match the colour of my bike. black ones for the GS, and as the RE is a very dark blue, it also gets black tyres.

[SARGE]

GHEY GHEY GHEY GHEY :kick: :dodge:

[ODL]

They look so poo. I can't think of a bike that would look better with them, in fact I think I'd vomit if I saw them on a bike. But then I like stuff that isn't shit so it's only my opinion.

In that case never ever look down while you are riding your GN, vomiting in a helmet is for professionals only :puke: .

I'll take a pair, and when people give me shit, I'll just say that they were black when I started and they changed colour coz I was going so freaking fast. :scooter:

[SARGE]

GHEY GHEY GHEY GHEY :kick: :dodge:

( CLEAR tires would look cool though.. go the radial belts)

[Pancakes]

Nope, the GN is infinitely cooler than those coloured tyres. Maybe some bikes would suit them but I can't imagine it.

[BNZ]

way too bored....

[zadok]

First bike pic I have come across with coloured tyres.

[bungbung]

I prefer black. It's the sort of thing that takes a bit of getting used to, like bmxs with coloured tyres; they were pretty much mainstream for a while.

[Jabez]

What about 'glow in the dark' ones..........:)

[skidz]

I don't think anything but black would look good on a Harley.

[thehollowmen]

I don't think anything but black would look good on a Harley.
I could so see hot pink on the fluro pink sportster in chch
