Default Width of your “White Walls”

Whose of you running on Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II WSW, what is the width of the white wall? Can’t seem to find this information on-line & Can’t find any place near to see them in person.

I love the 3/8” look of the Coker’s or DB’s but choke on the $250/tire cost.

Any regrets with your purchase?

Any alternate suggestions?

Cooper Trendsetter about $80 - $90 each, with 3/4" whitewall.
Fantastic tires, I don't see any reason to spend more.

I’m also running Coopers - great tire for the $, and I can’t see spending so much on the “wide whites”. I personally like the sportier look of the narrower ww as well.

Hankook H724 has a 9/16 in whitewall. Put 4 on R66 and about 5K on them they do well for cruising. Don't know about hard cornering as I get a warning scream that slows me down.

Just bought a set of Tiger Paw AWP, size 215-70-15. Whitewall measures .70"

Hope this helps.

Just put the Uniroyal Tiger paws on my 67..they were less than $70 each..cant beat that. Uniroyal was an OE supplier back in the day sand that suits me better than Hankooks which feel wrong to me.
