    Is it just me or does any one else find that there are ugly tyres and good looking tyres? And does this affect your tyre choice?

    Like for example a Bridgestone Adrenalin, those tyres are just sex.

    Or Kumho Exstca (i think) are alright looking, its what i have on my car.

    Yea so what you think guys and gals?

    Dad has 275/19 Exstcas on the arse of his Corvette and they look fat as.

    Also, you can't beat the look of some mean mud chucker tyres!

    I'm sure some tyres are developed more with looks in mind.
    In my opinion, the best tyre has no tread and no radial belts in the sidewall :)

    Alot of brands seem to have very similar looking directionals aswell.

    I will admit, I have purchased a model of tyre that was dearer then its little brother tyre, simply because it had a nicer looking tread pattern. Oh, and its handling advantages of course.

    I'm starting to not care as much though, unfortunately it's not practical to be able to change between a perfect wet and a perfect dry tyre so I guess we're stuck with a nice tyre that handles well in the dry/wet, has good wear, not much road noise etc. Just a small ask.
