    I would leave the red stripe alone. I gives the wheel and tire some depth that might be lost if that was all black. Looks good as is.

    I like the red stripe on there, but as you said, I would probably remove the Bassett sticker too.

    Looks nice!:thumbs2:

    I've always been partial to meaty tires. I like the stripe as well. It helps to break it up a bit.
