Can't imagine a Drifter without white walls.
Thanks for the info!

- February 15, 2014, 17:01:28 PMGlad to hear you like your Shinko's. Bought a pair last month to replace the originals. Hope to have them on a soon as the paint dries.

- February 15, 2014, 01:22:30 AMYeah Bake, glad you like them. I put another 100 miles on them today, total of about 200 and have no complaints, and they feel good in on the curvy roads I was on today, and I followed a few long cracks in the asphalt, all good so far. My front is getting a little yellowing around the perimeter of the ww, but I took a magic eraser and it came right off. I'll have to try one of Ratman's scrub daddy sponge also once they get real dirty. aralph, our Drifters look so good with any tire, you can't go wrong, as long as you ride a Drifter. There is always next time. Heck, these are inexpensive, maybe you'll replace them a little sooner than you need to if you really get the itch.

I am kicking myself really hard for not putting on WW when I
had to replace my tires last year...
