Talking 200 rear fxstc whitewall tyre

Posted last week enquiring on options for whiteside tyres, after no luck at all and not wanting to gamble on veerubber, I decided on a new avon which is a ultra storm2. Its a touring tyre with a 50 profile and fits and rides a treat at a third cheaper than the cobra. Ive had the Dunlop, 3 Metzelers, and 2 Cobras and Im assured this tyre will return more than 4000 miles!
So Ive white sided it myself and looks ok.

Wow! Good looking bike. That's the first 21/17 combo I've seen with white walls....I'm impressed.

Hi Hogdiver96, thanks for the feedback. Im in deepest darkest depths of kent. Had a ride out this morning in the freezing cold and salt laden roads to run the new rear in, and rides fine. Where are you in the uk?

Too right! - Avon or dunlop, I enquired about the Veerubber which seems to be the only one made anywhere, but had a bit of negative feedback and the cost was Ł240 to supply one from the USA. Anyway, Im getting good at spraying the black ones - its the fifth one Ive done.
