Tyre treads

Subject is a little misleading because it's not the road handling
aspect I am interested in.
It's the pattern.

patterns from an aesthetic >point of view.

A BT 45 pattern looks quite like a lot like a D207RR's sinuous pattern and
to me both look better than Diablo Corsa's blocky 'lozenge' pattern. But
as Diablo Corsa's work better on my R1 it gets Diablo Corsas.

I'ld like to know if there's any consensus here regarding
particular patterns from an aesthetic point of view.

Pirelli Phantom. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Cool, that's one.

I noticed, while licking the window of my local Ducati emporium, that the new
Sport 1000 café racer was wearing Pirelli Phantom replicas in modern sizes.
The front was a reasonable facsimile of an original rear Phantom while the rear
was rather more like a worn out original but you can't make a 180/55-17 look
exactly like a 110/90-18. The GT1000 beside it had Michelins; I didn't look too
closely but they resembled 1980s Hi-Sports.

Such a pity that I've only just had new tyres....

I shall of course be market testing my project on you lot,
complete with special rates for interested parties.

An early (and relevant) response will gain you special consideration.

I think I might be pushing my luck here, fire away.

Newly scrubbed-in road ones, or new offroad ones; no silly colours.
Beyond that, tyre aesthetics don't bother me.

That seems to be the consensus this evening.

Thanks for those others.
