Fucked the tire on my soma, figure I may as well replace both while I’m at it. Tan walls are half price, do you guys think they would look good?

They look good but tan walls generally aren’t as tough. Supple but not tough.
Hell to the no
i cant be bothered with mtb tires. they look nice but black is also a good look on a big tire, and a bit stronger. also more options in my experience
1) I love my Soma hardtail and therefore love your Soma. I would like to try a rigid fork on it, but don’t want to mess with switching things. Sooo, I’d almost consider buying a second Soma just to run fully rigid.
2) because your fork is black, I’d keep black walls. I think throwing on tan walls would monkey up the colors too much. But really, when you are riding your bike you aren’t looking at your bike. Who cares about looks, ride is king.

Nah. My Larkspur is almost the same color. I think the blue looks better without the skinwalls.
Black tires are faster, but tan look better based on my experience. Science.
They’ll look spectacular and it sounds like the price is very right
lol why not? Or green tires or red tires or yellow tires
If you never rode tanwalls before give them a shot cause why not? Just expect to clean your wheels twice as often if you want em to look good
