Default What tires have a smooth sidewall?

I was thinking about getting a new rim and tire set. I would like for the sides of the tires to be as smooth as possible. I asked my local Discount tire and they said to that Pirelli's have a lot of decoration on the side. Does anyone know what tires have a minimalist sidewall design?

The tires I was specifically looking at were:
Toyo Proxes T1R
BFG KDW2 nt
Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3

BF Goodrich gForce models have very little on the sidewalls. Lots of smooth areas.

Chris, the BFG's will be good and not to costly.

I've got BFG KD tires. Aside from the usual markings close to the wheel lip and the BFGoodrich lettering they are nice and smooth and ArmorAll up nice and shiny!
