White Universal Ribbed Tires....anyone run them??

[Model A Ron]

I am thinking about White Universal Ribbed Tires for my 1915 Touring. Has anyone had experience with this tire? How many miles did you get on the White as opposed to the black tires?

Thanks
Ron

All white tires are very soft due to lack of carbon. You might get 1000 miles on them.

I have used them and they are good for maybe 10,000 miles. Very good tires, easy to mount. Yes they wear out faster than black tires but of the white tires they are the best.

I was thinking maybe 3500 so if I get 10k I will be thrilled. How many years did you have them on? Did they crack with age?

Coker has the Universal White tires in stock for $222 a each however up till 1/2/23 you get 10% off and free Shipping so that's $200 tire. I did purchase a set and they came in the next day....I was able to finish mounting them and they look amazing in my opinion.
