Default Tires for 21inch Front and 16inch Rear combo....

...going with the DNA 80 spoke all chrome 21X3.5 front and 16X3.5 rear. Any suggestions on where I might find matching front and rear WHITEWALL TIRES for this combo?

Thank you

Nothing off the shelf. Maybe unless you want to try your luck with Vee Rubber.

Metzlers. I think you can get the rear, but the 21 will need to be made from db tires

Hey does anyone know what the new prices from DB are?

As for my Vee I might have been a little harsh on it this winter when I was bitching...it actually cleaned up pretty good this year. I thought it was getting brown but it was just really dirty..lol

Im not much of a tire scrubber.

Are you solid on your decision for a 16" rear? The 18" IMHO, shows more spoke and looks great slammed and tucked up in that fender with that new Shotgun your rollin.

Check out the thread I started "WHITE WALL 120/70/21 METZ, Avon, etc." you will find some helpful info there if you want to do the 21x3.5 up front.

IMHO, Vee rubber tires are JUNK. A waste of money. Once again, just MHO

I paid $345 for my Metz 120/70 21 two weeks ago. That included shipping to CO. Should be here any day.

Tab was charging $325 before shipping.

The 120/71 21 is made by Tab at Diamondback Tires (search on google, then just call).

Vee Rubber makes them, but nearly everyone I've read about that has one says the white turns yellow/brown. Haven't read a bad thing about Tab's work.

One of the reasons I stayed with a 16" rear is because having one custom made tire is bad enough! No Metz ME880 in a WWW that I know of, unless made to order by Tab.
