White tires

[big jesus 151]

Hello all, I want to put white tires on a few old bikes. How many options do we currently have?? How many different countries make white tires? Any tricks to make a black tire white ?? Are there any white tires that will give us some good mileage? Tread patterns ? Clincher vs drop center? Has anyone done the homework on this one ?? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank You !

Carl, I've been tossing around the idea of white wall tire paint. If you look on ebay, there are a number of products and they all have convincing claims. As for all white tires; Coker and Universal are the only manufactures I'm aware of. If it's a real nice bike that isn't goiing to get a lot of miles, the Coker Firestone Non-Skid is the premier all white tire.

Thanks Eric, I have checked the Coker catalog, I too prefer the non skids, I think they have great curb appeal ! But they have wallet non appeal - @ 342 $$ a piece. If you are racing these tires hard, It won't take long to chew them up !!! The Firestone racing tire is also 342 $$...WOW ! My lovely bride is going to get a second job ! I'm looking through the classified, help wanted , right now !!!!...........Has anyone tried the paint ??? Have fun, Carl @ PUSHERMAN RACING

We used to use tire paint on our "Lead Sled" 1950 Ford
for white walls. But if you use it to paint the entire tire, It's bound to wear off the tread, and look somewhat odd.....Rod

Carl, I was looking that he tires in this picture and it makes me wonder if Coker uses white tire paint.
