26" Tan/Amber Wall Tires?

I fit them on most of the bikes I do at the moment only as they are cheap and look quite good I am up to about 30+ bikes now so I cannot put the extra cost for high end tyres on each bike.The tyres seem to wear ok and the grip is good but then I don't do anything too extreme. Tyres fitted on my shopping / pub /taking the dog out bike
Agreed, they are a good value cosmetically correct, and light-usable tyre
 
On the subject of nice amber wall tires...

If anyone has, or sees, one of these anywhere, in the depths of their cupboards or at the local bike shop:

Please let me know!

I have this one, but not another. They don't exist anymore and they're the perfect cross tire.

I'm having no luck tracking one down online at all.
 
I’ve come across these gumwalls (26 X 2.1) by Duro, the Rocky Wolf. They are wire bead so most likely not to light. Pretty affordable and the tread looks decent for MTB riding.

Has anyone tried these or opinions?

Duro works fine, preferred cheapo brand here. I have run duro on quite a few of my bikes and they perform well, though wear faster than expensive tyres, but they're also a fraction of the cost.
 
I just ordered up a pair of these Kenda Comp 3s in 26 X 2.125 skin wall, wire bead. A little pricey but not too bad, NOS, doesn’t look like they are readily available anymore. Intended as a 26” cruiser BMX tire but I figure they suit a vintage MTB nicely, love the short, light coloured skin walls and lack of any logos. Nice widely spaced MX knobbies and round profile.

Here’s how they look on a sweet 26” BMX cruiser
