Given the color of the frame, I think not tan looks better, but tan is not bad. Unless the look is very important ride them until they need replacing, by which time you should definitely know which you prefer.

Black. I don’t think the tan goes well with the chrome.

Earth tones go with earth tones.

My rule of thumb has always been tan on dark frames and black walls on light frames. The contrast makes the frame pop. I’d run black walls on this bike.

I don’t hate the tan with the silver and the black rims help with that I think. My silver bike has like peanut butter brown walls with silver rims but I have a brown saddle and some other brown/earth tone accessories on the basket such as a cargo net and pad. I also have brown walls on my other slate green bike with black rims so I think I’m just partial to that look.

Maybe a darker tan would look better?

All my bikes have / will have tan walls. All of them. So I’m biased. We need a better pic of your whole bike though to make an informed recommendation.

Tan. Gray scale is boring. Don’t listen these boring heads. Let it stand out.

Tan and leather is rad.
I actually love the two different tires
