I agree. It shouldn't matter, but it bugs the **** out of me and has kept me from running Maxxis tires.
It is kinda like pinstripes on cars, I absolutely HATE them. :eviltongu
At least I can take the pinstripes off.
Fashion slave.
Anyway, if you ride it gets dirty and less noticeable real quick.

Kanter, I e-mailed Maxxis with the same question to try to find out if the rumor was true. I was asking specifically about 24" 60d tires. Here's their response:
Maxxis has begun to phase out the orange stripe on our tires.
Unfortunately the 24" High Roller will still have it for next year. The only
products that won't have it will be brand new 2005 products such as the
Advantage, our Folding Freeride tires, UST tires.
Tires that are in our current catalog(2004) will still have the orange
stripe through next year except on our race compound tires.
Sorry about that.
Best Regards,
Maxxis International, Bike Division
Hope this helps.

will maxxis make tires without a orange stripe for freeriding?

They are DCing the orange stripe on ALL tires. I talked to Maxxis and they are no longer making the orange stripe on any tires. They still have a bunch of tires with the orange stripe so it will be awhile till we dont see the orange stripe on the 60D tires.
I'll give me 2 cents since I got a giant stash of Maxxis tires.
60D and 50D tires had orange stripe, the slow reezay and super tacky didn't have them.
Only the 50D and sometimes the 60D went on sale cheap (like $20) but you'd never find the other compounds cheap as they were race compounds.
So now my bike has a orange stripe, and a all black. I don't care what the tire looks like as long as it works, but YES, it's nice to have all orange, all black whatever.

I like my orange stripes.
u really need some help joelJimmy_Pop said:
Wait until you get a tire sponsor. Once you can afford to run new tires at every race, you end up with stacks of tires in the basement.squarewheels said:
I met I have 30-40 easy.
I like the orange stripe, I won't loose any sleep about it being there or not though.

Or just run softer compunds.
You got it right on that, I've got 10 sets of kenda's DH tires on the way, 2 sets of new Maxxis roads, about 10 new DH/XC/4X tires stashed up. Hopefully with the Kenda ones I won't be dumping sets of tires into the dumpter after a race trip, with all the neighbors shaking there heads.buildyourown said:
Actually the real sign you have a problem is when you keep tires that your proud or tosting, I've have one Tioga DH Proto tire from 98, that feel apart after one run at the 7 Springs National, and that was not a tough course on tires.....can you say engineer not doing thier homework........
