Title: Would whitewalls look good & what about tire size
Post by BB on 07/09/11 at 10:54:51

Need to replace tires that are too old. Have not seen any pics with whitewalls, anyone got a pic of a Savage with whitewalls???   Also, what about putting a 140/90 on the rear instead of the normal 140/80?  

Appreciate your opinions, love this forum.  Thanks!!  BB

Looks like it is beside the point, can't find a rear tire to fit in a whitewall, oh well. would have loved the whitewalls!!! :'(

This is Ranger tire paint. Do not recommend. Pealed after first drive thru a puddle. Looks good though.
Tire is a 160/80 on 4 inch rim.

If you can find a set of Maxxis Classics, grab them, no longer in production.

Satin white Rustoleum brush on supposedly works to make fake whitewalls. Believe it when I see it...

150/90-15 well fit without grinding but is tight.but it won't fit stock fender. good luck finding a maxxis. sold out everywhere.before i hardtail my bike or did anything to the swingarm i rode on a maxxis 150/90-15 with no problems

I still can't believe Maxxis/ChengShin went off road only for bike tires. And expanded into the jacked up 4x4 market.

I used Maxiss a couple of times, one lasted & had excellent grip, the second, wore out in no time & had a hair less grip.. I liked the tires, but the difference in lifespan turned me off,, BUT, I didnt know about the Born On date & how to decode it back then,, I may have bought an Old Tire, Ill never know. I guess now it wont matter..

My dad bought a car with those things on it. After a while one of them broke while on the highway and polished the inside of the wheel well and blackened the side of the car. Wouldn't trust them on a bike. And they don't offer a 15" anyway.
