Looking to put whitewalls on my 2016 48. I’ve seen a lot of people running Shinko 777s, but haven’t seen a lot of reviews from people who have had them for a while. Have heard good things about the Dunlop American Elites, but all just word of mouth, nothing from someone who actually runs them.

Have also heard good things about the Avon Cobras, but they don’t make a tire to fit my front from what I can tell.

Any recommendations, advice, reviews, thoughts, etc would be appreciated!

 

I guess I shouldn’t leave Metzeler out as an option either.

And before someone says it, yes, I’ve done searches but have found lots of conflicting info esp amongst different bike types.

Looking to revatilize this convo, specific to whitewall options, for a 48.

thanks in advance!

 

your front tire is the same as my rear tire IIRC, so the Avon cobra does make them to fit, love my cobras

 

130/90/16?

 

that is correct

 

its weird, because I found them on JP Cycle, but it says they don’t fit my bike...so confused?

 

i got mine from Dennis Kirk, lot cheaper than anywhere else i could find

Part #544092 on their website, states its a rear tire tho, a MT90-16

 

Figured it out...says they won’t fit because that tire is specifically made for rear placement...didn’t realize there was a difference. I’d heard about directional, but specific to front/rear I didn’t know was a thing.

 

didnt know that either, maybe someone can chime in on that reasoning, i would think it would work

 

you need to search mt90-16
