I like the ww's but as you can see I'm partial to them anyway. Get yourself a jack (to keep em clean)and some ww.

My vote is for white walls too. I second Mark's comments but brake dust makes you a slave to cleaning them.....................
Maybe you are using your rear brake too much. The front has more stopping power.
I'm going to put WW on mine soon.

??? I rarely use the rear brake and brake dust, road grime and more accumulate on both the tires. WW mean cleaning them often regardless of what braketechnique you use.

I've just noticed that the brake dust seems to accumulate more on the rims in the rear than the front for some reason although like you I rarely use the rear. I suppose when I get WW's I'll be cleaning my tires and wheels more.

White Walls all the way, I think the Heritage should come with them new. Just fits the style of the bike better.

I like www tires, but your bike looks just as good with black walls as white walls. Well, just a tad better with www.
Really that's a nice color combo, and looks good with either tire.
