WHITE WALL TYRES - YES/NO

[danny silverstreak]

i bought Dordy daves TA earlier this year with black tuffs on it  i  fancy putting some of those kenda whitewall tyres on it

ive heard the purists mention its not the done thing , but i remember my mates way back then had em on and they looked pretty funky -whats the general opinion fellas

also for meetings like epic am i right in assuming these tyres will be slippy as hell??
please discuss - heres a poor picture of the bike  - crap camera

[bodamus]

Your right Whitewalls are useless for riding especially when it's wet but I always liked the look of them and plenty of people had them back in the day. I have a set on my Curtis Freestyler and a set on my Quadangle.

I say be different stick a pair on.

From bodamus

[danny silverstreak]

thanks bodamus i value your opinion   

[sawzall]

i agree with ian,they look the muts, bitd we used them for indoor riding-racing then sprayed with hair spray for grip crap for outdoor use but looks out weighed performance

White alright

[phantom photon]

I rode with white walls back in the early 80's. Still think they look ace on the right bike 

[pickle]

For black tuffs i think white walls are THE only tyre!  they look the nuts!

I rode them on my Beat at Epic earlier this month (i say ride in the losest sense) 

But they were sticky enough for me 

[MartyC]

I's say go with them 

Bitd I used to run a pair of whitewalls that had a similar tread pattern to a Tioga FS tyre, they weren't that bad on concrete but pants in the wet and don't even ask about Earls Court 

[dordymush]

yeah put a set on it.
i'll buy the old un's back off ya then lol.
