White walls?

I'm replacing tires this spring.
I'm leaning towards plain black wall tires.
Any opinions?

Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark,
Wide white walls like yours look awesome.....WHEN THEY'RE CLEAN.

They are more work but they look so good and classic.

I had them on my FLHRCI back when I had it. It does fit the classic well, but they are a huge PITA, especially the back one. If you're gonna have them, you have to keep them clean. To do it again, I'd go black wall actually. The extra upkeep isn't worth the look IMO.

Great looking RKC.....with the fairing it takes on a Street Glide appearance so If you don't like cleaning the WW's go for the black walls

I am a white wall guy. I like the nostalgic look. Its a bit of a pain to keep them clean but the look is whats important to me.

I had the narrow white wall on my Road King and just went with black walls. Looks great.

WW's are tired as are spokes. IMO.

Preference of WWW over BW is a lot like people who shine their boots and people who don't.
I prefer to keep my boots and shoes SHINED.
And, WWW all the way!
