    White tyres bad idea. Look great until 3 or 4 rides in.
    2010 Cannondale CAAD 9
    2008 Wilier Izoard

    The colour of the tyre is irrelevant imho,grip combined with punture resistance is where i would start...

    But take a look at the Vittoria Rubino Pro's as they seem to be held in good regard by most and they are available in the many different colours including black n white.
    Cervelo S5 Ultegra Di2.

    Did a search on here and ended up getting schwalbe ultremo R 1's. I know,mixed opinions about these tyres,but went for them purely for looks and think they will look great on my 2009 4.5 madone. Have had the original Bonty tyres on since new and only got one visit ever,so here's hoping the performance matches the looks,thanks for any advice given.

    On my new build I am going for Ultermo R.1's, after looking at these and Open Corsas and Veloflex.

    i use Rubino Pro 3 on both bikes at the moment and in 2 years, I am yet to have a p******* when out on the road!
