Essentially they are the same thing as tan walls, except usually a more yellowish tint. They however are much better because the sidewall is actually rubber, and not a fabric that can fray during grinds.
Wanting these kinds of tires, I originally bought the Subrosa Grave Digger tire in the front, and Primo V monster for the rear. Still been riding the Grave digger for over 2 years now without a single flat. The V monster got a flat the first day i rode it, and continued catching flats, I would never buy it again.
I then got the Subrosa Street Digger for the rear, and it was pretty good, although i thought i might still find a better rear tire. After burning through this tire i got the Shadow Undertaker tire being what i am currently riding, it caught a rip in the liner and i fixed it with a patch and rubber cement, however that was sketchy and i would also never buy this tire again.
Sadly Subrosa discontinued making gum wall grave diggers, and i will soon be needing a new front tire, so i ordered the Primo WLT tire to replace my grave digger in the front. I will try out the new Primo LD tire for the rear as i also need a new rear tire asap. These primo tires are heavier than the primo v monster tire, and primo has put out quality tires in the past, so hopefully these tires will be legit.
-The never ending quest for solid tires.
P.S. if you don't care about sidewall coloration, hands down the Subrosa Grave Digger tire is the buffest, strongest, most flat resistant tire i've ever ridden.
