HAHA - love the bull horns.

I got the Dunlop WW Tires. They grip fine and seem to be wearing well. But yeah; a shit to keep clean.

I would think they would stay put on the wheel since it's pinched between the rim and tire. I'm not much for the whitewall thing myself because it sounds like extra cleaning. The last upgrade I did this year was bullhorns.

  I did a bunch of reading on them and they had a mixed review, but I will stick with my real WWW tires for peace of my mind....

Those were popular back in my Dad's younger days; when he bought his latest Model A a couple of years ago, it had them on the tires; but they had all come loose. He told me they were the BIG thing for budget minded rodders and riders when he was young. You mentioned that Troll might have seen them when he was young.....I'm thinkin' they didn't use them on horse-drawn wagons....... ;D ;D

ELmo , pretty slick I'd say . Would have to a little research on the safety issue factor on these though myself . I'd be a little worry of this letting go off the tire and wrapping up in my front rim or something ? Wonder if Troll has any info or has in fact seen these before ?

I saw these and thought they may be of interest to some.
