WHITE WALL TYRES - YES/NO
« on: December 26, 2006, 10:55 AM »
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

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.

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)  :LolLolLolLol:

But they were sticky enough for me  :daumenhoch:

I's say go with them  :daumenhoch:

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  :LolLolLolLol:
