Here’s a good little article from the Fyxation website entitled Bicycle Tires 101. I particularly appreciate their honesty. Fyxation, a company who’s pretty much founded on offering colored tires to fixed gear riders, admits that colored tires wear out faster and aren’t as good for skidding as plain black tires.
Check out www.fyxation.com.
Heck, they even admit to manufacturing lime green tires.
Nothing wrong with lime green tires. As the Snob says “it’s all about the colorways”.
If you’re looking to skid go with a black tire in the rear or the dual compound Session 700 that is on the Fyxation site. Hard black compound in the center, colors on the sidewall. http://www.fyxation.com/blog/dual-compound-sessions-now-shipping
Dual compound is really cool one and a great idea for such color oriented persons like me. Tnx fyxation.
