I run Avon gangsters as well. Hit em with westleys bleach white when I clean the bike and stays super white. Btw, u can pick up the Avon gangsters on ebay from cycle Shirley for 370 shipped on a pair of 16s. They advertise them as blems because they have a few marks on the white walls, but mine cleaned up perfectly. Just throwing it out there.

Hey Jesse, good to know. The Avon Gansters are the best tires I have run! They ride great on dry or wet roads (turns and stops). My Dunlaps never hooked up as well. I'm looking into getting an Evo soon and would like to run the Avons. Really like the wide white wall and wider tire. Been running them about 16 months, no complaints.

Run the Avs with no complaints. I chose the gangsta for the width of the WW. I honestly like the Metz 21' WW front better than the Avs. WW goes all the way to the rim. But I wanted to keep 2 of the same shoes on.

Keep them clean with magic eraser, bleachy white.

Avon Gangsters and Westley's Bleche - Wite for me as well. I tried the magic erasers and a few other methods and the Bleche - Wite works the best for me. The Avons are harder to clean than the Dunlops were because of the lettering etc... that the Avons have in the white where the Dunlops are smooth in the white and all of the lettering etc... is on the black except for the Dunlop engraved.

You guys that use bleche white, do you spray it all over the whitewall and then rise with water or what? I am concerned it will mess up my chrome on my rims.

I had that concern as well Drew but, so far so good. I spray it on and then leave it for a minute and then scrub it with a pad and then rinse.

I spray on a small amounts around the whole tire, then hit it with a small brush and I use a very wet wash cloth to wipe it down, then follow that with a dry cloth and then proceed to wipe down the wheels. Usually don't get any on the wheels this way. Btw I do my tires up on a belly jack so I can work at the bottom of the tire at all times.
