Cool Tires added green tires 120/60ZR17 FRONT 109.00
they say they carry 200/50x17 rear
but don't see it, the 190/50x17 is 159.00
I emailed them about the rear;
Thanks for your inquiry. We have the molds on order...but it will be about
60 more days. Sorry, but they are coming.

It would be differnt to leave a Green burn out.

Red with red tires looks cool too http://www.cycletires.com/

I saw those in a magazine a few weeks ago, but I dont really like those too much. I also read somewhere that they are made from recycled tires...dont know for sure the exact specifics on that.
I'll stick with my black ones, that's just me though.

Can you imagine trying to keep green tires green or red tires red after using them on the street? I think not

DB, altho dirt from the road woudl undoubtedly wash teh colour out a bit, i think they would retain the general colour, cause you''re constantly "cleaning" the tires by wearing a layer of em off on teh road right? still would be interesting to see just HOW well their keep their "clean" colour during regular use.

Colored tires are no different than any other item of color. Yellow
will show more dirt than Blue, etc., etc., The area that will get black
from road grit is mainly the center of the tread. This can be removed with
a dry rag and rubbing or a touch of solvent or thinner. Colored tires may
fade over time in the sun, as rubber reacts like any other petroleum based
product such as a plastic lawn chair left in the sun.
