In the city, I definitely prefer the slicks but they‘re not great for sand so the tt and billy bonkers are a better compromise for longer rides beyond the city limits. Same for me with the logos on the black tyres, I don‘t mind them at all. When I bought the billy bonkers, I didn‘t even plan on getring rid of the logos but when I put the tyres on the bike, I hated the looks to the point where I regretted buying them in the first place :D
Pretty sure my TTs are wired bead. Generally for my riding, I can get away with slicks for the most part.
I agree that you've improved the looks immensely by peeling of the logos.
I do appreciate the slight muscle car look, that the logos have on my black side wall TTs have.
