Green gumwall tires
Remember these? Does any tire manufacturer still make them?
I think Vittoria made the ones pictured but I'm sure others made them also, they were a "thing" back in the '90s and I'm looking for some now....

OP was asking for a gum wall and green tire not a green sidewall etc.
I have been looking for some too, none found yet.

Those look like an old Vittoria Pro-Team Special Pave. You probably won't find them. Current Paves can be found with green strips, but they're otherwise black, not tan-wall. Also, they've been discontinued and are vanishing rapidly.
