Also, I’m looking for some other tire recommendations aside from continental gp5000 unless you all think they’re simply the best. Let me know what you think!
I think if you are willing to throw on some brown bar tape as well the Tan Walls would work. But none of those light tans you need a nice deep tan colour.
But just Tan walls tyres alone wouldn’t work. The rest of the bike is no where near tan in colour way.

I swapped from the gp5000, because they were so tight on the wheelset, making changes difficult. Yes, a huge part is that I suck at changing tires. The tires I run now, while supposedly comparable, do not feel like I can lay them down into a corner as hard as the GP5000s, but who knows, I doubt im good enough to even know. One of the below comments is right, I think they look fine, so wear through them then go gum next time? Or switch, you do you.

Personally I’d stick with black. Have you looked at bicyclerollingresistance.com?
I’ll change for all blacks when these wear out on my CF 8.

Black
Gumwall is always the answer
