Think you'll find that you can actually get high performance all black tires and tubes. I acknowledge the possibility of having to, but so far I have never had to compromise aesthetics and personal preference to achieve functionality and performance. Guess fixing lights when riding at night is as close as I get; that and a fixed/fixed Phil Wood rear hub (as oppose to fixed) on my day-to-day wheelset, which I reluctantly live with* for the time being, only because I was offered the wheelset at a reluctantly low price.
*Damn, I hate that hub!
