Hey Guys

couple of questions for ya's

1. What companies do whitewall tyres (i know avon do but the only have a few sizes)
2. What differnce would it make to use a rear tyre on a front wheel if it is the same size? (avon have whitewall tyres that fit my fat wheels but they are both rear tyres, is there a difference?)

btw my wheel sizes are
front 150/80 16
rear 150/90/15

Hey Dave, you could try ask Iggy in BMT. He is called Rubber65 on the IBF.

The threads on the back and front wheels are different and are not interchangeable. I had the same problem myself when i was looking for white-walls from Avon.

Oh, and for a serious answer, there are universal tyres (i.e. front or rear) - they may be directional, but they can go on either end.

I have a set of Avon supervenoms (AM18, and AM20) on the Enfield. One is a rear specific, and the other is a universal. They are excellent tyres.
