Hey,
I'm looking for what I would describe as a naked/nude sidewall 29" trail tyre for U.K. use.
By naked/nude I mean the sidewall is of an oldskool style — the tread is black but the sidewall a bare gum/rubber colour.
Ideally I'm looking for tubeless compatible, 2.2" and 2.4" wide options suitable for U.K. weather (wet-ish).
If I can't find a naked/nude sidewall tyre I'm looking at Michelin Wild Rock'R2 Advanced Reinforced Tyres (2.4" Magi-X up front and 2.2" Gum-X at the rear).
All your help is very much appreciated!!
Cheers!
If you search for skinwall tyres you'll get better results.
The Onza Ibex is available with the skinwall in 29x2.25 and I like my black 2.4 version for UK riding.
Onza makes/has made some of their tires in a gumwall version:

Skinwall or Tan wall is what you're looking for.
Maxxis have been teasing skinwall tyres for a while IIRC.
