Tape and tyres question

Dave1441

I have a White and black bike, the tape is White and I am going to change it to red tape so do you think to match I should have red tyres as well?
Thanks.

If your tyres need replacing then why not, put a photo of your bike up in the your road bikes section.

Go past everybody fast enough and they won't have time to notice what colour your shirt is, let alone your tape or tyres

At this time of year they'll be black soon enough anyway. Should look good with your bar tape if you can keep them red though.

Pics would help though.

Too much coordination can be a bad thing. I'd stick to black tyres. Tape usually looks best matched to your saddle though.

There are rules about this you know!

Rule 8 applies http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/

You can't go wrong with black tyres, black tape in winter, white tape in summer.

Sound advice!

Rule #8 / Saddles, bars, and tires shall be carefully matched.3
Valid options are:

Match the saddle to the bars and the tires to black; or
Match the bars to the color of the frame at the top of the head tube and the saddle to the color of the frame at the top of the seat tube and the tires to the color where they come closest to the frame; or
Match the saddle and the bars to the frame decals; or
Black, black, black
