Default Best white wall and price advice?

It's time for new tires for my Heritage. I am wanting ww's this go around. Was wondering if anyone had any best tire/best price advice. This would be for stock sizes. In the world of tires I am pretty uneducated as to where to buy and what to buy so I would appreciate any help you can give.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing at next 'tire change'.

different 'mods' look good on different bikes. On a Heritage, I think whitewalls look good.

Stay away from the Maxxis Classic, its a 3,000 mile tire if that. I just put a Dunlop from the Dealership on in a pinch, the only two things I don't like is that the I want the white wall wider and when I clean the white, its ruff not smooth. I have had a Avon Gangster up front through two rear tires so far and just can't wear it down. They are $170 - $200 a tire but man they wear a long time.

Thanks guys... ordered the met's www from American moto... those were some very decent prices indeed including shipping. Heck Fleabay couldn't even beat American moto.

Appreciate it. Tires on the way... Chrome frontend getting done along with a Race Tech Front end suspension Kit/lowering kit being installed. Can't wait for this stuff to be done.

Guess that answers my question about the Maxxis Classic, the price on them is great but the life of them explains why they are so cheap
