Here it is, the Federal SS657 165/80R15, with WWs courtesy of dbtire (http://www.dbtires.com/index.htm). Yes, it feels a little different, but no different than any other time I've put on a new rear tire. My old tire was worn down to the cords. A brand new tire will always feel different. Here I haven't put my saddlebags back on yet. I like the looks of this, and I like the feel of it too. No handling issues whatsoever. I can still live up to my namesake just fine.

Good GOD is that thing white!!
Looks good, matches the theme of the bike.
I personally hate whitewalls because of the maintenance issues.

Those wide white walls are the *****. Totally awesome!!! You won't find many like that on a bike, maybe on a old coupe or deuce.

That WW is 2 1/4" wide, exactly the same as what was on the Avon Venom I took off. I've had WWs on virtually every car I've ever owned. I guess the maintenance of them doesn't bother me.
That bike is awsum!! I had a '99 Honda 1100 aerostar with the same colors. Got attention wherever I went!
