Help Choosing Tires

[stelber1987]

70 bucks for Fenix branded Goodyear GP3 Clay tires with tubes free shipping on Ebay
There are only so many rubber foundries in the world. Lots of rebranding. These are 40psi. The “Schwinn” cruiser branded ones only come in Black but are 65 psi. The same triangle tread but more square with very little beveI to the edge. I cleaned Target out on those when they had an online sale for 12 bucks each. They are all triangle pattern tires.

Would you sell any of the tires?

The 12 dollar Black ones are 65 psi not your flavor.
Here are 40 psi Clay ones. There is no seat of the pants difference regardless.

a lot seem to like the clay. am i the first to suggest the cream? i think the clay are to close a match to the rest of the bike and will end up loosing the effect. to be honest i think they would almost feel like they were still the black ones.. cream would pop and show off the patina of the bike better in my mind.. its fun getting others opinions.

I must agree! I put a set of clay color tires on a really rusty bike thinking they would match great and it made the bike look bad. The cream fat franks will make it pop in a good way and are also excellent tires to ride on. Both fat franks weigh about the same as one fenix or duro which dramatically effects the ride

Of the tires photographed on the first page, the creme ones are better-made. I was not impressed by the last couple sets of Duro-branded tires I used. Schwalbes tend to be a bit over-sized, but are pretty well made by today's standards. Unfortunately, things have regressed from the days when Goodyear and Dunlop offered a really good bike tire at a reasonable price.

Get some dirt on the black tires and they'll look much better.

The cream tires will give this more of a custom look. Like Kerry said earlier they don't look vintage and, to me, kill the vintage bike vibe. Your bike, your choice though.
