Where to find a tire like this?

bbc26 · 05-12-2008, 05:43 AM

I have 250 rear tire on my bike and think it would look good with a tire like this but can't find who makes one or anyone that custom makes them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

what is the rest of the tire spec?
rim size
profile
as somebody like Metzler or Avon may do it.
I would check the Metzler site and see as they do some pretty big boots for custom applications.
Also check companies like Roaring Toyz and altered chrome (i think) as they do the wide wheeled, long swing arm sports bikes and they may be able to help

Its not for a sport bike. I've got a custom springer with a Avon 250 rear on a 8.5" wheel, with a spring seat and half fender, and think a whitewall would look good. This was the only pic I could find to reference to.

I will look where you suggested though and I thank you for the help.

Talked to the guys at Avon and they told me that they do not make a tire that size with a whitewall nor do they do any custom work like that. Have yet to receive anything back from Metzler.

Go check on ebay for whitewall paint then you can make your own out of a plain black tire.

Would you happen to know how well that stuff holds up. I have given thought but was afraid of it not holding up or rubbing off when washed.
