I think by everybody here was talking about more of a rocky terrain, where the boulders would scratch up the tires. Obviously, though, it'll take a good beating on a soft-trail.

Nice pics, by the way!

Unscuffed, white lettering out screams mall-crawler. If that's your thing, then go for it. Otherwise, black.

Don't feel bad, I'm old too I guess! To each his own!

Ummm, whatever dude but I don't think any amount of soap and water would fix this...





As I said before "if you go wheeling on the rocks", your side walls WILL look like crap big time.
