Coloured Tyres - are they bike chav??!!

[Richie1964]

This weekend I put some yellow tyres on my bike. I like 'em but think that they may be a tad chavvy! What's the general opinion here?

 

[ChrisW]

Agree, gotta match the bike, so YELLOW, yep probably chavvy all round

 

[ChrisW]

Sorry Richie, when you said "yellow" did you mean a "yellow" pattern like this?

'cos that could be REALLY chavvy!

Dem's well cool man innit, youz get a large !
(Translated) Yes definitely chav, tyres should be like model T Fords, available in any colour you like .............

Burberry pattern Pro2Race tyres? That's wicked innit!

 

[twowheelsgood]

Were they Burberry patterned (yuk)?

I got yellow GP4000's on my bike with matching Handle bar tape. Now I need to find out where Scott get those yellow brake hoods and I'm a winner.

 

[Richie1964]

Well the bike is black with some yellow on the paintwork - so it does co-ordinate!

I think they look cool on skinny tyres, like on a courier's bike, on nobblies

I got some red GP4000s on my wrongster, with red handlebar tape. Oh, I went back to drops, got tired of bullhorns.

sounds like my winter bike, although the 'guards conceal the colour of the tyres to a degree.

Nothing wrong with them coloured tyres when they coordinate with the frame like mine:

I have however seen an abomination around Leics - red frame, blue tyres, white tape

I also have blue pro 2 race and I'll be getting red shortly. My bike also has a little yellow but I'm not too keen on yellow tyres

Or you could get a jersey like this with a big yellow stripe down the back (and front ) cos they're all cowards, er, neutral in this country (no disrespect to Maggie ).
