I'd like a durable fast rolling dark gum/brown wall tyre in 28c for my fixed commuter and the Gator's look like they might tick at least 2 out of 3 boxes. My GK's haven't held up all that well.

Planet X Rolly Poly have held up pretty well for me and brown sidewall is an option. You'll want to switch the front/rear at about 800-1000miles though. Last lot I bought were £13 each, which I can't reall argue with.

Thanks but sadly up to £20 and only showing tan wall now.

The Ruffy Tuffy has a brown wall and looks like a nice option, heavy though. Anyone have any experience of these?

From what I know the Hardshell is a good skid friendly option and would look nice on an all black rim. On the front I have a machined sidewall so would like some brown in the side wall to tone it down (silver spokes, black rim, MSW, black tyre always looks harsh IMO). Not a big fan of mismatching tyres but if there's a hint of colour in the Hardshell (rear) and I go with a dark brown on the front it might look ok?!

Gators all have an off-black sidewall don't they? Not enough to be its own colour, but not pure black either. Get it mudded up and you won't notice anyway 😁
