To be honest I am not sure what to think of mine.At first glance they appeared great looking.Then after getting all the blue off the WW some problems appeared.Minor stuff but enough to make me wonder about these.Little brown spots,some nicks in the WW, uneven WW,scuffs etc.The blue was totally intact and undamged.So IMHO these are factory defects not shipping damage.I would say the white is more white then yellowish.Not as white as my Avons but not bad.Then again they seem to change color, as I look at them in different light.Some times they seem white and other times not as white.The tire looks good all the problems are in the quality of the WW to me.My 18 was more effed up then the 21.I will start a new thread and post some pics.Final opinion for me is they are a step below quality wise than the Major Tire Brands (based on looks alone).To be clear I did not buy from any forum vendor.But they were part of the new and improved batch.Also I am **** and have OCID when it comes to my sled so half of this stuff may not bother some.

Guys, what are you all paying for these tires. I am just curious because I found some of the new shipment for $005.00 shipped and am wondering if that is a good deal.

So whats the definitive answer on the quality of the White on these 21 tyres,
I'm also quite fussy and if it aint totally right, I'd probably take it off, so if its going to be a problem I need to know before ordering my wheels, because I might stick with a 16 front rather than have to put a 90 on, or worse still put a black one on. Deluxes need WW.

This thread isn't helping my confidence. I really need a bigger front tire and want to keep the whitewall so I was hoping this would be my solution but now I am not so sure. I am even thinking of dumping the WW but than I would also have to get a back tire as well.
