Colson Scout, which color tire do you like ?

[Scribble]

Here is the bike a 1941 Colson Scout, we have some red on red action going on.

First up is cream

Second is clay

Third is black


I'm leaning towards the cream.

I'd go with the cream, matches the handle grips and more importantly, the pinstripes on the fenders. And with red rims would be a good contrast.

I agree that the cream would look best; some folks hate how they look after you ride and they get dirty, but i think that looks rad. I think the black would continue to work, too. Looks great. I think the red would clash a bit, and WWs would probably look too bright until they got dirtied up a bit...

PS- Your Colson looks awesome.

Thanks, I'm really excited to start working on it.

+1 on creams.. I like how they look new and as they wear in... They get a cool authentic aged feel... I love the look of new brick reds, but to me they just look dirty after riding..
Would look awsome one your build

Perhaps it was BMX bikes with colored tires when I was a kid, but I am partial to anything but black tires. I like the cream.

I haven't found the cream on my Iver to have gotten dirty looking just maybe a little darker, but if it's changed, it's uniformly.

Black

I like the vintage 'tough' this bike projects. As for tire choice, my opinion, I think black and change the grips to match, maybe some Thompson bottles?

Exactly! Love all black old tires, looks like a bike you don't wanna mess with, like it's from the wrong side of town. You don't want your little girl foolin with it.
