White tyres

Someone help me hunting any of these down?
I know of a few models (i.e. Schwalbe Stelvio/Vittoria Randonneur) but i can't find anywhere that stocks them in the UK (postage from chari is $60).
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appriciated.

Condor cycles
Vittoria zaffiro pro for about £13

Try the search function. This got done to death a year or so ago. Failing that go to your LBS and by some Vredesteins.

this was my first post ever on the forum I think and I got abused for it lol

I can guarantee that they won't be for much longer in this weather. At least wait for the "dry" season or don't waste your money and go for black..

white randonneur is crap . . . the PSI is tooo low for me and i aint even that heavy and when i look down looks fuckin flat most of the time . . .

wanna sell it but like it cuz its wait . . . or try the halo tires but the walls is black . . .

pump it up more, are you running it at 80psi?

I run mine at 110-120 no probs

too scared it might pop . . .
u joking 110-120 lol

i run mine between 90-100 no probs

i hop like a bitch tho . . .
hmm might try 90 but im on 85 . . .

too scared it might pop . . .
u joking 110-120 lol

PSI ratings are written by the lawyers not the designers.

All white Rubino Pro from Wiggle. Got mine before xmas, so may be sold out again now.

Yes they are but more in, in March.

I had standard rubinos on a training road bike, 120psi, tyre wore through to the carcass before it went pop, and without skidding!

the bike stall on broadway market has some lovely white dia compes i would buy them myself but i know i would ruin them in a week

seems there's a lot of us here willing to pay extra for tyres just to get them white. maybe we should start a sort of confessional thread?

We should buy hippy some, he'd love them.

:)

Bumpity bump.

Where are the white tyres nowadays? Best I could find was the rubino pro's at Wiggle. Does the line with the text come off? Would make the whole thing a bit whiter sort of.

zaffiros feel grippy enough to me in the wet, but if your gonna be skidding on them its a no no!

i imagine most coloured tyres are rubbish for skidding in the wet because of the compound

edit: didnt notice how old this thread was lol! i got my ones special order through evans when i worked there, but you can still get them as a customer. expect to pay a big more though unless they're still price matching but i dont know how that works

seeing as it's been bumped then - where you get white randonneurs?

a lot of coloured tyres don't grip as well as black, because of the compound required for the colour.

so in fact, they will be excellent for "skidding in the wet" but pretty poor for actually doing any serious riding.
