Default Help me find a 21" WW 120/70-21

My tires are cooked, so I decided to run new wheels/tires.

Went 21" front, got the wheel ordered, just can't find the white Wall tire (3 weeks now...)

Supposedly, there are none in the uSa.

Current stock is Sold out, Pennsilvania , late shipment, blah-blah.

so no bike shop in OC can source my tire.



Can anyone help me find a AVON 120/70 21 White Wall??

I don't think they make it. Your only option in WWW is Vee Rubber which is why I just went with an 18 front. I am not putting vee rubber on my bike. Good luck.

Stopped by the Ride Write booth to look at a new wheel today while I was in Sturgis and they had the new Avon 120 70 21 with a 68 load rating on display. They told me that Avon dropped it off so people could see that there was a new tire. I think he said that Avon only had about six tires with them and had dropped them at different booths. I also think he said something about them being four to six weeks out. But not sure on the time frame. I do know that will be my next new front tire.

I was looking for a www for my new 21, couldn't find it, other than Vee rubber. I went with new Michelin commander II's both front and rear. the tires are the best tires ive driven on, but they are not whitewall.

I ordered this tire from Summit Racing (or so I thought). They sent me the black wall.
I just got off the phone with them after they called Avon for me. Supposedly Avon told them they no longer make the tire in this size. Somebody's lying! I don't understand why I can't find a single company who makes a white wall for such a popular sized wheel.

I was having the same issue after talking to mark at Choppershop1 I took the chance with VeeRubber "He mentioned the new batch are supposed to be a lot better" figuring I could always switch brands when more became available such as avon and shinko. The coloring is a lot better the pattern is not screwed up and the ride is as good as can be expected for a 21"/18". I didn't expect to be happy at all but I'm fairly pleased. If you can't anything else I wouldn't shay away. However I've heard shinko's are currently available

$112 shipped? Their website says $165. How do you like it so far?
