Tyre choice - black or amber wall?

Pickle · Apr 12, 2009

Got my hands on some amber wall tyres, so I thought I'd pop them onto the Zaskar to go 'period correct'.

But, now they're on, I'm not so sure...... :?

Have I spoilt the stealthy look, or are amber wall the way to go?

Opinions please people

I'm not a great fan of amber wall but I think they look right on this - they go well with the forks

Amber!

Plain black gives your Zaskar a" I mean business" look but the Amber walls give the "Proper Classic" look! Stick with the Ambers fella! You know it makes sense!

Plain black always make the bike look heavy, do you want people to think your bike is heavy

you have far too much time on your hands...

unless you are aiming to have it period correct, i'm guessing you prefer the black. otherwise you wouldn't be posing this question to justify your decision.

i say black, if that helps any.

i thought black was suppose to be a "slimming" colour?

id say if its proper retro with canti you got to have amber too, but in general black wall always looks better
