Do you think bright “yellowish” tan wall tyres would be nice on this bike? I really love the way tan wall tyres look (for example conti 5000) but not sure if the bright yellowish color would fit my bike. What do you think?
Somebody somewhere once told me this, and it’s always stuck with me… Sidewalls are personal preference and people like what they like. But as a general rule: Tan-walls will look better on darker colored frames. Black-walls will look better on lighter colored frames.
I agree with what has been said. I think the black walls look good here, and your frame already has a lot going on, visually. I think the black-walls give a subtle aggression to the bike, and the tan-walls would draw attention away from the color way, labels and decals.

Absolutely not. There’s already too much going on
Looks perfect as it is, I hate tan wall tyres myself
I don’t think it works too well: [https://imgur.com/a/ChITWuo](https://imgur.com/a/ChITWuo)
