Default Big White Wall Tires

Has anyone here used the Big White Walls Tires on a EG, SG or RG? If so I would like to see a picture. To me it gives the bike a nice clean look and I'm thinking of trying them on my EG but would like to see a couple of pictures first.

I've seen a few of them with WW's on the forum. Your best bet is to go the Touring Picture Section and scroll through the couple hundred pages there. IMO, they look much better on those bikes when used with spoke wheels.

Big white walls and clean don't really fit into the same sentence. Oh they look nice on just about anything but once they are cleaned they will revert to their former dirty state in about 20 minutes of riding, 30 minutes if you leave it in the garage.

Having said that here is my tip for keeping them clean: Use a little Ajax w/ bleach sprinkled on a wet rag. It will shine them up like new with little or no effort. Cheap and easy, just like me.

I appreciate the responses. Still hadn't decided but I have a little time... Don't really mind keeping them clean as I wipe my bike down now almost every time I ride it...

I beg to differ on how they are a pita to keep clean. I use simple green first to remove any oil or grease then soft scrub with a foam-scrubber. Then coat with Armor all. They stay clean for at least a couple weeks.
