I like the White Walls m'self. But wanted to try the E3 tire and it doesn't come as a White Wall . . . so my rear tire is a Black Wall and the front a White Wall. Check the picture in my signature! Now you'd think this would really show up . . . but in fact it actually doesn't. Most folks take pictures of their bikes at an angle that isn't 5 or 6 feet off the ground . . . like in my signature. Think about it . . . 5 or 6 feet off the ground is where your eyes usually are (when walking around anyway) take a look at my attached Thumbnail picture, and you really can't see the rear tire on a Heritage from that angle. Plus behind the bags and all . . . what you might do is "compromise" with your better half . . . and only get a White Wall for the front . . . where you actually can see it . . . and get to it to clean it as well I might point out.
