Vee Rubber White Wall Nightmare
I purchased Vee Rubber White Walls from Dr.V-Twin last year this time. When I got them I took them straight to a custom shop to have them installed on my new spoke rims. When the blue tape was removed my White Walls were a yellowish creme color and they have been that way ever since. I spoke to the salesperson at Dr.V-Twin and his response was " it
happens like that sometimes" . What the
????? I tried contacting Vee Rubber via phone and certified letter and and never got a response on how to rectify the situation. Is there anyway to whiten these tires? I am so disgusted with the way they look!! Spending another $600 on tires with less than 1000 miles is not an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ya brotha I feel yur pain. Did the same thing about a year and a half ago. I only had that piece of **** on my sled for about 3 months, when I heard about DB tires. Tab did some killer work on WWW tires. They no longer manufacture WWW bike tires. Bummer. I tried the shoe polish on the yellow wall tire. Works for a while until you wash your sled, then you gotta paint it again. Not much out there for options at this time.
