Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads So, it’s time for a tire change: current setup is with brown walls, wondering if I should switch to tan or black…. by Fede_RR Bicycling Biking Cycling
Megawomble64 on March 10, 2026 1:21 pm There is an epidemic, currently, of people putting tans on everything regardless of whether they suit the bike. I think tans do suit your bike though, so tans 🙂

peetyo5k on March 10, 2026 1:41 pm Brown give is some character compared to black. Tan is too much IMO
mgr8ful1 on March 10, 2026 2:29 pm Dark brown is the way for most frame colorways. Tan not so much. Black a close second
Equivalent_Date_3291 on March 10, 2026 2:59 pm I hear that the tan walls stain easy if that is true they may look a bit dirty ,not sure if true or not .
mr_shmits on March 10, 2026 3:43 pm i like the brown. the tan are awful, the black kinda disappear. but the brown add a nice accent without being too obvious.
