What are some good white walls made with good all condition tread? The more white the better.

If running a 16'' wheel , the BADDEST whitewall is an Avon Gangster WideWhite.
If running stock wheel sizes, I believe Maxxis sells some WhiteWalls...

yah - all that info is scattered around in a couple diff. threads - just a basic search will turn up a couple of brand names - possibly someone will be good enough to do the work and post a direct link?

It has been a while since I have looked at a white wall tire since the 1960's and that was on full dresser Harleys. When youget them post a Pic, you may be on to something.

I was surprised at how good Chippy's bike looks. The whole bike is sweet. The WW Tires are real retro.

I am leaning real hard towards putting some wide whitewalls on my CB750.
Though,
I am not sure if I want to go that route, or keep the blackwalls for a "meaner" look..
