Default Total White Walls

Anyone have any idea as to where I can order a set of 16" white tires? Not white walls. But tires that are completely white! Like back in the 20's when tire manufacturers didn't add black dye to the rubber compound.

Did you try the JC Whitney folks or J&P Cycles? They distribute catalogs for the antique motorcycles...

I have seen them advertised in a catalog but can't remember which. I do remember that there was a disclaimer stating the white tires were for restorations and show purposes only. Since all tire rubber is white before carbon black is added to them, you might call a manfacturer to talk about this.

Check "Coker Tire" on -line....they make a lot of retro car tires and I believe I read where they were branching out in the scooter market. May be worth a check and if they don't know, they seem to be pretty helpful, if they don't make em, maybe they could recommend somebody who does.

Thank you,... I appreciate you all watching for what I'm looking for. I sent them off an email. Lets see if they have what I'm looking for. I figure, white will leave me one step away from gaudey! But with those other colors,... I don't think I would ride my bike! lol

I did not really read through the page - good catch! I can't believe someone would market re-treads for bikes....
