In my experience gumwalls are suceptible to UV degradation and always seem to fail before the tread as a result. On a much less important note, they show dirt and grime.
I prefer blackwall. Tires are in constant contact with the ground; I don't need them to look pretty anywhere near as much as I need them to last long. The perfect decoration for an otherwise-boring blackwall? Reflective stripe. I love my Hetres and my SuperMotos, but I miss the reflective stripe of the Big Apples and Marathon Supremes. What an incredible visibility improvement. Daniel M -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
