Generally speaking, I'd say this crowd prefers tan walls and understated graphics. But I'm building a bike that my OCD has decided needs some extra white highlights. Schwalbe has some good options. Any other road bike tires that have VERY LARGE WHITE LOGOS on the sidewall?

Thanks!

I can’t get over the look enough to actually ride them so I’m not sure on quality but those polarizing WTB thickslick tires have large white writing.

How about Michelin Pro4 with white sidewalls?

If you think a pure whitewall would look good on the build, the Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite 700x25 rides nicely.

I've only used the 2" 26ers, they were pretty slow and meh.

What looks really cool though is the 2" ThickSlick with the lettering removed. It's like you're riding on an inner tube.

I can't quite imagine the finished product in my mind, but the whitewall idea might not be a bad idea. Thanks!

Just bought these with the last eBay coupon. More silver than white, but still nice. And I have the biiiiiiig boys on my kid hauler.

I think for "full race" you should consider the new Goodyear tires (I have no idea how they ride) https://cyclingtips.com/2018/04/goodyear-bicycle-tires/
