White wall tyres (following on from DTTDB post)

(1/6) > >>

Who rode on them BITD?  Looking at Andy's TA with black tuffs and white walls they scream early 80's to me as we all rode on them at some point.  Not sure if it was due to the only local bike shop being a Raleigh dealer and therefore having lots of shopper tyres  ;D but we all rode on them round my way at some point, they were cheap and rolled real smooth.

I can remember Mason Smith coming to Bowes in the early 80's on his Gen1 and i'm sure he rode them with black Tuffs as well, i think they look well cool on black tuffs  :smitten:

factory pilot:
I've got some on my aero reflex purely because I thought they were cool bitd.
I remember how in my estate we all switched from snakebellies to coloured comp 3s and then we were freestyle mad so we all got whitewalls .. I think they looked cool with tuffs and arayas  :4_17_5:

pickle:
That was exactly our Tyre timeline as well Ant, snakebellies (GS Standard) then comp IIIs then whitewalls  :daumenhoch:

Taipan:
Mainly due to all the bike shops at the time selling white wall shopper tyres  :daumenhoch:

Pickle your theory is correct  ;)

radovr:
Yep , white walls were a good cheep freestyle tyre  , non of us could ever afford comp's or haro tyres back then   :daumenhoch:
