The Metzler ME888s. So far they feel pretty good, no issues. I was thinking about the Avons... maybe next time.
Of course this was on my 02 RKC, but the WWWs on the Avons weren't as wide as the Dunlop at the time. Mixing the tires would have looked odd, but I thought they looked odd anyway. So find a tire and take a look at it.
If I do go that route, doesn't seem like there's a lot of options for white walls.
White walls come in wide & narrow, black walls only come in one option!
I prefer the narrow it is extremely easy to clean, and really looks cool mounted on chrome aluminum profile laced spoke tubeless rims IMHO.

I think white walls only look good on RK's cause they have a great classic/modern look. With your paint scheme whitewalls would be the way to go
Its a matter of opinion, I believe thin white walls look fantastic as you stated on RK's w/chrome spoke rims, equally well wide whites. Buuuut thin white walls also look good on many other scoot including yours IMHO.
The thin white wall adds just enough to offset the rims or wheels, its like having a pin stripe added to your tires. It breaks up the dull look if you will, adding a little class to any scoot.
Will post pic's over the weekend THX!

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
Just got my bike back yesterday '09 Ultra with new tires and brakes. Went back to the thin white wall. Had that before, then last set of tires I went black wall. Went back to thin white, just for me, adds that little touch...!

I have the Avon set on mine x 2 sets now. They have been great. I have doubt the Metzlers will be anything but fine.
I was kind of hoping you would put a set of the Continentals on there. I think they are relatively new designs, and wanted to get some real world experience from someone.

I don't think the Continentals come in a white wall.
Found some photos, thin white walls w/chrome spoke tubeless rims.

I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists is that no one has tried to contact us.
