All rounder brown wall tyres?

I'm looking for a decent all round tyre but with a brown tyre wall, I know some people don't like them but I'm digging the retro look. I've been hunting for the WTB Prowler 5L but can't find them anywhere.

Maxxis just announced the Ardent would be coming in skinwall. Some decent Onza ones do too; not just skinny XC racer ones.0

Yeh suppose white wall might look cool too, these WTBs do look the the biz though and more importantly seem like a good tyre.slickmouse wrote:arnt white wall tyres even more retro ?0 -
Charge splashbacks. About a tenner on ebay and fairly light.0

I'm actually watching some of these on eBay for £22.95 the pair with free postage. Read a review that that says there not all that great in the wet but for the price I could use these locally and then swap whenever I go on a decent trail.0 -

Got mine from ebay three weeks ago for £9.99, available in 1.8 or 2.1. Used them for the first time this weekend, surprisingly good, sketchy in thick mud but then so are most except mud specific tyres. Pretty good in most terrain otherwise.HaydenJ wrote:stuisnew wrote:Charge splashbacks. About a tenner on ebay and fairly light.

Stuisnew,
What are charge like on tarmac?0 -
Thanks for that.0

Charge splashbacks wear very very quick and are crap in wet and mud - definitely a summer tyre, not something I'd want on in winter.
My 1.8's lasted maybe 8-10 rides before grip really started to suffer.0
