Default White Walls or No? (See Pics Below)

Here's a pic from Daytona Beach 2008. It was a great time. I'm considering white walls next time I need tires. How 'bout weighing in on an opinion poll...

Black Walls (current):


Or White Walls:

Mcpastor,
I have a Deluxe, so my vote is for White White Walls, not to be confused with Red Red Wine!

Blackwalls only becuase they don't make whitewalls in the 150/80B16 71H, stock rear tire size for the FLSTC since '06. You can do front whitewall, rear blackwall or downsize the rear tire, but who wants to do that?

No whitewalls for me...I have a friend who has put whitewalls on every H-D he's ever owned, says he figures he was a pimp in a former life...

Blackwalls, only because they look better and the whitewalls are a bitch to clean.
