Is anyone still making green cyclocross tires?
I miss my ole Michelin cyclocross tires. I know they show up occasionally on ebay for a small fortune...but is anyone else currently making a green tread cross tire?

Sim Works sells "The Homage," a Panaracer-made gravel tire with the green tread, but it's probably not suitable for cross racing if there's any mud.

And anyone know why they killed green clinchers? Not enough demand? Too expensive? Global shortage of green dye?
