Default Wide White Walls in sizes other than 16"!

Just ran across this in one of my magazines. They had an ad for HDWheels.com and said they now make wide white walls in diameters other than 16". Don't have em myself, but thought someone out there might be interested. They are pricey, but hey, if you can get what you want, what's a few bucks, right? LOL.

Damn, is that in pesos? LOL. I run a 18 inch front wheel, 16 inch rear wheel, both with whitewalls. I think I paid $280 for both. There dunlops, just running them til the Fat spokes come from Santa(ole lady). And you can get Dyna Beads for about half the price their askin. Whew, glad I do my research and just dont buy the first thing I see.

Yeah, if you want to run whitewalls and be able to replace them easily when they go bald or in case of a flat etc., stick with the sizes the major manufacturers make. there is also Vee Rubber which makes white walls in 18" and 120/21, but the white is an antique white, they are expensive and not that easy to come by. That si why I run a 90/21 Metzeler on the front and a 16x3.5 with a Metzeler WWW on the rear. Easy come, easy go.

Thought I saw somewhere that Avon now makes a 21 inch whitewall. Anyone else see or hear that?

Think they have had a 21 white wall for a while now.I have one on my front wheel.The only problem is the widest one is a 90 90 21.Alot of people are looking for something wider like a 120 70 21.

Guys who are riding the 21 x 3 rim and the 90/21 front tyre never had troubles with it. Because the risk is that tyre gets of the rim. At least thats what I heart. I said that a lot guys where doing it over here.

I am on my third 90/21 on a 21x3 rim. Never had an issue. I ride my tires until there is no tread left.
