Title: wide white wall tires
Post by: hilbert77 on August 16, 2010, 21:24:00 PM
Hi  Who makes the widest white walls out there? I have seen so that start right at the wheel.  Thoughts on brands also?   Thanks Tom

My Metzlers are plenty wide... sometimes the difference is in the tread design... can't get wider than tread to bead!

I put Metzeler white wall 880 's on mine. Their great tires. It takes more care to keep them clean. Its a 20 footer. Clean the whitewall at the  bottom, move it up ahead  3ft clean the next spot ..... 20 ft later, there' clean. The back wheel throws off the lube, necessary evil, but there's nothing cooler than white walls.
