White Wall Tires

[blackrod]

Hello

I am looking to switch out the stock tires on my Kymco Like 50 to white wall tires.  Does anyone have any experience with white wall tires?  What manufacturers do you recommend and do any of you have any experience with white wall tires?

I like the retro look of the white wall tires and think it will look nice on the Kymco Like.

Thanks,
Ross

You may not have a lot of rubber compound and tread design choices on brands that offer white wall tires....

Thanks for all of the replies.  I found out Continental makes tires in the 130/70/12 for rear and 120/70/12 for front tire on Kymco Like.

Everyone thinks highly of the Continental tires so I think this is the best choice.

Best,

Ross,

Please post photos of the tires on the bike when you get a chance!

Stick with a WW tire without the center line in the tread.  That line will follow diamond scraped roads and can make riding them unnerving.
