Help! Red clay or white walls??

[AmericanMade609]

Holding a vote..Having trouble deciding between the vintage red clay brick tires and some classic white walls for a rusted out 5 star superb. 2.125 also: Plan on trying to take that bright new red paint off the tank so it doesn't pop as much. Thanks for any feedback.

I vote not whitewall. If that red pops too much, I think white walls will be too flashy. I love those chunky animals on there now.

Whitewalls, but I would give the white sidewalls an aged look somehow to match the bike.

Save those knobbies for an offroad build.

How about a Gumwall ?
with choices ask....
clay.

I'd say white walls and then wipe the sidewalls down with some clay.

Clay.

If you're leaving it ratty, I'd leave the dirty old knobbies.

IMO old corroded metal with new whitewall tires can sometimes look good.
Contrast is interesting.

Agreed, it gives it a tough, military like look and matches the rest of the bike well. But if you fix it up some white walls or whatever may look nice.

What about both? The brown whitewall Schwalbe Fat Franks are SWEET!

thank you for this, now I'm really leaning towards these. I hear they ride great too.

Best tires I've ever ridden, and I've ridden more than a few.

Here's some in brown:

They would look great on those rusty rims.
