Good question.  I am always on the lookout.  I have gotten them from JC Whitney, ebay, and Amazon over the years.  Suppliers seem to pop up then dry up.  The Harley sizes are much easier to find and i have converted some Sohc builds to Harley sizes for that reason.  avon, continental, and bridgestone have all made them, or are making them.

They don't stay white to long you will always be cleaning them. Try panic cycles on eBay they have decent tires for decent prices they have a double pin stripe white wall that's got a old school look
I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of...and the things I AM proud of, "are disgusting"

I'm going with a 1957 Thunderbird Willow Green paint scheme. I thought whitewalls might set it off.
