White Tyre Lettering - FOR or AGAINST?

[SimonOrsborn]

New tyre fitted today. Original BT016 made 3224 miles. Still not sure whether I like the white lettering. Previous owner had done it on the bike so thought I'd better do the new rear in keeping with the front. Also added rim stripes.

Might have to redo the front again to brighten it up. Gotta get it off to put the rim stripe on that anyway.

I did it on my old bike. Personally i think it looks good, pain to keep clean though

I think it looks decent but don't fancy it on my bike.

I agree for now, but I think it might get interesting if the manufacturers start producing a range of white patterned and logo'd tyre walls for aesthetics?

Mine have K3 in yellow which stand out. Think it looks ok.

The wheel rim tape looks really good but undecided on the lettering. I suppose you could keep it on for awhile to see if you like it or not and if you don't it shouldn't be too hard to blacken out. It's always good to try different things out on our bikes, it's what makes us love them even more.
