Vintage white wall tyres.

[smartfella]

Hi all.

Anyone know were I could get white wall tyres for my 1929 New Henley.
21"x300 front +19"x350.

Thanks.

It wouldn't have had these originally ?, so no-one is likely to be supplying them ?
Probably means you will have to have them painted on.

I think Coker Tyres in the US supply whitewalls,but 3.50x19 a better chance than 3x21.Regards John

why white wall tyres on a vintage bike?

are you confusing white wall tyres with the almost white tyres you could get in that period?

[smartfella]

The info I have which is not much show white wall tyres. That's the only reason I would.
Thanks.

hate to burst your bubble but those are not white wall tyres but a feature of the printers block.
Very early  vintage bikes had tyres of an off white shade, I remember a fanatic Brough restorer back in the 1970s had some especially made at an enormous cost, but then he never used the bikes on the road, and at shows he wouldn't even get them out his van if the weather looked even a tad wet.

Fit normal tyres.

you'll get some idea of what I mean in the photo here

Thanks for your info and it makes it easier not needing to find WW tyres.
Your right about when they get old & dirty. I have a friend that bought white boots to match his gixer.
They looked shit 2 weeks later.

That brochure pic of the New Henley doesn't appear to have a 21" front wheel, is that your model ?

WOW
Thank you very much. My info about the NH has just doubled.
Fantastic.
 

The bike come with a 21" front rim so that's why. As I said I don't have much info, Well until now.
