Re:

Specialized did some. I have a pair on a bike I plan to sell but could alway split?

Michelin wildgripper sprints also came in amberwall and black. Quite a rare find these days though.

Swear by Charge Splashbacks. Great if you want retro look but for more road use. Have these on my daily rider.

Re:

Compass Cycles offers 26" touring or "all-road" amber wall in amber wall in 2.3", 1.8", 1.5", and 1.25"

The 2.3" Rat Trap Pass looks interesting for more commuter-oriented builds.

I was just about to mention these.
Fairly fast rolling, might be tricky trying to find some now though?

How long did the production last of these? I remember it being short but at the time you could pick these up for £20 new. I found the sidewalls to be very thin though therefor they didnt last very long.

Re: Re:

well you used to be able to get michelin wildgripper sprints in skin/green, does that count?

yeah... but green! i used to have a pair of wg comp on my xizang but i wasnt a huge fan of the colour, its a shame they didnt make more in black/amber and less in green :?

Just used my last 'new set'. Wish I'd put more away, think I got 1 set for £15 !!

I'm pretty close to buying a set of these for my commuter -

Got a set of the splashbacks fitted currently but they have been on there a few years and starting to wear thin.
