Motorcycle tires

[brinsley]

hi all,

 

i've been reading up Traffic Police publications (too many) and LTA guidelines.

 

Question: will i violate any law if i use WHITE (or any other colour) of tires for my

bike other than black?

 

appreciate feedback.

true, coloured tires do not last as well or perform as well as black tires.

rubber is originally white, carbon was added to make black tires for durability.

 

at the rate i ride, skidding is not a problem. it's not entirely meant for road use, but

more for decor of my bike, for aftersales perhaps. then again, it's nice to have

matching tires to the bike aesthetics.

 

silverstein, you sound like an old timer, perhaps you would know...

 

my question still stands: is it allowed legally on the roads?
