Is the actual purpose of the tire important here, or just the green-ness?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that)

They do, just sidewalls but that's probably enough.

Yeah those Michelins were the ones I was thinking of. My friend wants a bunch of seafoam green stuff for his bike. I tracked down a bash guard, seat, and grips. Thanks for the help guys.

I know the "green" movement may have fogged up my question a bit, but I was talking about the color.

Oh, and I guess the size has to be at least 2.5 inches. I doubt I'll have much luck.
