Why no coloured tyres for MTB 26"

[Err]

Why is it so hard to get coloured mtb tyres these day (or am i looking in the wrong places?) There used to be tyre in a variety of colours, and you can get them for 700c, bmx etc?

What's going on?

Halo do some. White, pink and green IIRC.

They do look awful if they clash with the frame though.

 

[Err]

Well it would be red ones for my bike. White might do, just wondering why they used to be made but now aren't? And you can get panaracers with red sidewalls but they still have balck tread?

I got the Halo whites on my singlespeed.

Its just another great thing that seems to be lost in the halls of mountain bike history,sadly noboby makes cool tyres anymore like coloured Wildgrippers or the infamous white Porcs

[Err]
