Hd rear tires

[Mr Bulldog]

I have been waiting for some tire company to come out with whit wall tires for the trike. The front tires are no problem, but why doesn't Dunlop put rear white walls on the market?

Any thoughts from anyone?

I'm not familiar with TRI-Glide rear tires, but are not they the same size as a car tire? If so, can't you get a car W/W tire for it? My Champion trike has car tires on it.

I have been getting ready to do a tire and wheel change on my Tri-Glide. Using a Dunlop Harley tire with wide white wall in the front and been researching tires for the rear. Still want to use the same size tire in the rear, 205 65R 15. The only tires found so far are the BF Goodrich Silvertown with 2" wide white walls. They are expensive...$243 - 244 a piece! Going to install them on chrome Harley Tri Glide wheels.
If anyone has any better solutions to this wide white wall issue, please chime in.:Shrug::AGGHH:

Thank you
Bill

For wide white walls maybe check the classic car parts vendors.

There are a couple of possible resources.....try this link, it's to Diamondback Tires, I bought widewhites from them form one of my streetrods. They build off originial manufacturers molds etc.:

I see that size on at least three different pages all under $ 200. See page 18 and call specifically for motorcycle trike wide whites in your choice of whitewall width. I think most of the stock white walls are 2 1/2".

Thank you for your information. I'll check them out tomorrow. Sounds good, we'll see what they are offering for trikes.
