I called Avon and they are getting a lot of requests for the tire and hopefully they will produce it.
bringing this up from the dead because I am going through the same dilemma.
I just bought and returned an Avon MH90-21 tire because all of the shops I
went to wouldn't touch that tire with my 21X3" wheel. That tire is only for 2
inches and change.

I sent an email to Avon telling them that I returned a tire of thiers and asked them
if they make a bigger whitewall tire.
I did find a tire paint on ebay....do you think it's even worth trying on a new tire?
It looks good in the pictures, not sure how it looks in person.

sorry for jacking this thread.

I myself had called ride wright about the fat daddy and white wall tires with the 21. They did say it would work but they also said the ride was not that good because they had to stretch the tire for the wheel to fit. I had a guy who deals with custom motorcycle wheels tell me that you can use the same paint that they use to paint car bumpers. I never tried it and I dont know anyone that has done it but he says it would work.

Get a 21x3" rim, but be aware that the tire still has to be stretched to fit it. I've seen the avon whitewall on 21x3.5" rims as well and never heard of anuy issues, but of course the manufacturer is not going to recommend it due to liability.

Thanks for reply
