White wall tyres - why not? 30 Mar 2010 (Forum)
Well, I guess we know some of the negatives - carbon black being better and so on. But just thinking about them brings a mental image of spats and Chicago gangsters - oh and perhaps a 60`s Triump Herald, or similar? Why not though? Hard to believe that a white tyre wall, or even -
