Can’t decide between tan wall tyres or black. I am worried the tan walls make the bike look a bit busy. What do you think?

It’s not a gravel bike if it’s not tan /s, but definitely black 👍

Apparently I’m in the minority but I think tan looks better. Black just looks cheap to me with this frame paint. Tan bumps it up a notch.
I actually think the tan compliments the touches of red orange really nicely

I usually always prefer tan tires, but I think the black looks better on this bike because the tan is a little bit visually similar to the red but not close enough to really match, so it feels busy.
Tan really compliments the colour of the logo, black looks rather industrial and not interesting at all
Tan
Black for longevity and minimalistic look, tan for the drip.
Black on black is overly black, also tan oddly works with the orange-ish red accents.
Choose one cuz both looks terrible. I usually just go with the cheaper option for the tire I want
I’m normally into black and tan on everything, but I think all black look better on that one. Or, if you can find them, I know panaraver makes black and red tires.
Always black
Tan looks way better.
Tan !!
Black and get some colorful valve stems!
Tan or it’s not really a gravel bike

Whatever you do, for the love of bike mechanics and the velominati, please align the valve stems with the tire logos when you do make the changes.
Well technically it’s not a gravel bike without tan walls 😉
what year is that CaadX? That fork may be trying to kill you. If it has an aluminum steerer it’s under recall.
