Default Want WWW tires for 2006 Ultra Classic - 16" tires

Elite 3s do not come in white walls.
Metzler does not offer rear: MU85 B16. And Metzler does not list a rear replacement for the MU85. Oddly enough, Metzler does offer the WWW in the front tire: MT90 B16. This is very strange to me.

Wanted to find a better ride than the Dunlop 402 but perhaps I will be stuck with these if I want wide white walls.

Any suggestions? I am tiring of my fruitless searches to get a better tire than OEM in the size and sidewall I want. Thanks

If you find some thin whitewalls, let me know. I've been searching for replacements with the thin / narrow whitewalls other than the stock 402's. No luck.

I've gotten use to the WWW on my Road King Classic, I'm having a problem adjusting to the very narrow WW on my '09 Ultra Classic. It almost like there's no Whitewall at all. When it's time to replace mine, I'll be looking for WW's that are a little wider but not as wide as the one's on the RKC. I would like to see a set of raised White letter tires.
