Anyone have any idea who is making amber / tan wall 29er tyres in an XC flavour? The current crop of Onza's are to wide and draggy for my local trails and I really fancy a splash of colour and retro style that the amberwalls provide.
Failing that any white 29er tyres out there for a porcupine style bit of nostalgia?
Cheers,
BJ

I love tan wall tyres too 😳 ! I think they can look fantastic.
Apart from the Onza, I've found [url= https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/maxxis_ardent_folding_skinwall_mtb_tyre_with_free_tube-ID_67164?gclid=Cj0KEQiA1dWyBRDqiJye6LjkhfIBEiQAw06ITsnQHGTYfq0QA6ctvFUR_sAc8prIjUhQopH9Z2NxEdgaAkC48P8HAQ ]Maxxis Ardent[/url] in tan.

Ardents were available in tanwall, someone might still have stock. Oops just been beaten to it!

Good spot on the ardents, even better to find a shop that looks like getting some stock in.

I love tanwalls too, I've seen the Ardents but there are various pics of tanwall Minions going around, not sure if available in the UK though.

I'm looking to try some Halo Twin rails, 29x2.2 tan wall. No good for proper dirt but fine I imagine for hardpack/pootling/touring...

Saw some at Allterrain in Saltaire the other day but can't remember the brand.
