Tire help

[shadowmagic]

So, I plan on replacing my tires very soon starting with the front one since I'll be tearing down the front end to replace forks and bearings. I will also be painting my calipers white along with some misc. pieces at the front of the bike. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get tires that are whitewall or have the white lettering going around the tire? All I've been able to locate is regular solid black tires. Any help greatly appreciated.

I run the Kendra on the front with reverse rotation currently.
I'm planning on running the next front tire with the correct rotation.
I get a slight vibration currently at 120 mph.
Dark side tire is getting replaced because it's 5 years old..plenty of tread left..just being safe..

If the OP wants white walls, dark siding is out. While there may be exceptions out there somewhere, most white wall car tires are only WW on one side. Blackwall on the other side, giving the car owner the choice.

Finding white walls in standard Valk sizes may not be too easy either. May have to run some "close" sizes, depending on what you can find.

For white lettering, you can buy tire paint pens to DIY them yourself. Then you can buy any blackwall tire you want and customize it. You can find them on Amazon, and probably at some parts chain stores too.

Also, some people have used these Sharpie paint pens to do tire lettering: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00WL2STGM/?coliid=I1X977J3ZZ8MA&colid=229LI4BKBACV&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
