Re: Help with traditional look wheel/ tire size...
I guess the Goodyear wide whites are traditional but they are really ugly compared to the BFG.
The whitewall is on a thick ridge of rubber - maybe 1/4 inch wide and the tread is pretty thin compared to the tyre width. So I guess if you want a tyre that fills the guard well, without a big footprint on the road, then they would be great.
The other issue with the Goodyears, it that the circumference by the rim have a bunch of Xs on the whitewall and they gather dirt & dust so when you get anywhere, they tend to look dirty. I dont like that.
I bought the tyres via a phone call from here in New Zealand, and the tyre shop in California said a lot of folk didnt like the Xs on the whitewall. I hadnt seen them, and they had no BFGs in stock so I ordered them as the container was leaving a few days later and I ran out of choices.
I will get BFG wide whites next time round.
