If the debate is about my personal preference, it’s black.

I went tan wall on my wolverine because the size I wanted (650×50) had no other options. So I would totally get the black ones. Edit whoa ! You have a front derailleur on that. How did you manage that ! There’s no cable stop makes me think there’s hope for old ass smoothie to run a 2x

Black because the tan walls will turn black anyway. Unless they are real ‘gum’ wall tires, in which case go for that.

Black if you want sleek, tan if you want steeze

Not gonna lie, I tried swiping the picture to look for the comparison picture. Took me far to long to realise it was one picture with both options.
Anyways, I’m tired, and ready for a nap!

I’m an avid tan wall tire guy… but the black is looking really clean here. It pains me to admit that.

Tan. They look really good with the orange frame.

Tan walls start to show threads & look ugly before your tread is worn out. I’m going back to all black tires.
With that said, tan walls & black accents are attractive on that color frame.

Black. Haven’t been a fan of tan walls since 1994 when my first MTB had them.
Tan
Im a sucker for tan, or any color. Black is fine tho.
Black. The tan is nice but the blacks are nicer
Yes
On an old school styled frame like that? Definitely tan.
Tan
black all day
It’s black for me…
I think black in this case. There’s already a lot going on visually with the mismatched color frame and fork.
Tan.
Tan. But those Riddlers are dogshit.
Blacks looks so clean on this ride
Always tan.
Black.
I’m 99.9% black all the time. This time I’m tan.
I prefer the tan, but one of each is a funky good time!
black
It’s almost always tan!
Always blk
I think black always looks better than tan, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter.
Imagine gum walls on your car too? the bike looks more minimal and clean with less colors.
Tan
if remove the decals from the rims, either one will be fye
Black. 100%. Looks deadly
I love tan sidewalls, but on that bike – black all day, not even close
I’d probably go tanwall, but then I’d need to change the seat and bar tape to a brown or tan also. Without any other changes, on this bike, black.
Always tan. +10hp
You have i backwards.. the black will look better in front and tan in rear.
TAN.WALL.EVERYTHING.
