Re:Do I keep the whitewalls look???? 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
I love the WWW tires on "old school" type bikes. Blackwall on sport type bikes. I think that WWW are the only way to go on a Midnight Star Silverado, like mine. The all black bike looks great with the WWW tires. With black wall tires it looks like the tires just blend with the fenders.

The color of the bike can make or break running WWW tires... IMHO. I think hardone2get's bike would look strange with WWW tires. It would break up the sharp paint job.

Does anyone have opinions on what brand of WWW tires I should be looking to buy for my bike? So far I've found Avon, and Metzler tires in the correct size in WWW.

i've seen whitewalls where they didn't belong and they looked like hell. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but sometimes some people just can't see straight!

I'm with ya, GS. My other scoots had black tires and they looked fine. With the Silverado, WWW just seem to add a nice finishing touch. JMO, JM2C, heck, think I'll go to bed now.

Whitewalls abd sos pads the only way to go. If your on a crotch rocket black is beautiful , but with ours it white is right and no other way. I can't invision the bike any other way.

White walls look great as long as you keep them clean. dirty white walls look bad. It just a matter of what you want to put into it. Just like most other things.
