NEED INFO ON BICYCLE TIRES?

Can anyone tell me the difference between skinwall tires and gumwall tires? Which are better and why?

Answer:

By the time you count shipping and the fact your going to pay more for mount and balance your better off to go to a local shop.
Gum wall are the brown side walled tires. I'm not sure what skin walled are.
Gumwall: The tread compound is the same all over the tyre and the sidewall Skinwall: Only the top surface of the tyre is made from tread compound. These tyres are lighter and more expensive than gumwall
