Default White Wall Tire Help
Hello, I have ask this question in the (2010 WG lets keep track of our mods) thread but did not get a response. I am posting again because I am getting desperate to find some White Walls for my 2010 WG. I will need a new back tire in the next 1000 miles and have googled and searched the forums but can't find a white wall rear tire. The front is no problem.

Thanks for any help and info.

**** is a pain in the *** right... I have an 07 Street Bob with a 180 on a 17"wheel and I guess no one makes a white wall in that size.

It's the stock WG rear tire. I think it's a 17 inch wheel (i'm at work or I would go look for certain).

I have searched everywhere I know of. I thought I would give it one last try before I order a standard black tire.

People have been searching since 2006 with no success. I satisfied my need by lacing a 2010 Road King (16 X 5.00) rim to my Dyna hub and put the WWW 180 touring tire on it. A 16 inch rear was on Wide Glides for quite a few years.........

Port-O-Walls for Bikes:
http://www.mooneyesusa.com/product-p/ww14.htm





(PRICE IS FOR EACH)
Prices start as low as 10.00 per wall!

A quantity of 2 would be needed for each tire. This makes replacements easy and as needed.

An affordable and simple alternative to full-priced white wall tires are these Port-O-Walls, also known as White-Ribbons or Whitewall Toppers. Made completely of durable soft rubber, this simple addition drastically changes the appearance of your ride. Easy to mount, no special skills or tools needed.

They are held in by place by air pressure from the tire and the bead of the rim. The inside edge of the Port-O-Wall is pressed on the lip of the rim causing it to lay on the tire.

Available in many sizes and widths.
Customize your ride today!

The following are for motorcycle
WW1408MCEA > 8" . . . ....... . $10.00 each
WW1410MCEA > 10" . . ....... . . 12.50 each
WW1412MCEA > 12" . . ....... . . 14.00 each
WW1413MCEA > 13" . . . ........ . 14.00 each
WW1416MCEA > 16" . . .......... . 14.00 each

Thanks, I'll check it out. You would think a company would see the demand for WW's and make one for us.

What tires are you running? I'm lookin for a 180 rear.

I like white walls on red wheels, but that's just me...

Vee rubber makes a 200/55/17 and a 120/45/21 that works. I'm thinking about them also. I think they are the 302 model. Google VRM-302 white wall
