White wall off road tyres

[petjam]

Morning all,

Looking to get a set of white wall tyres in the UK in 30x9.5R15. Like these: -



Anyone know of a stockist?

North Hants Tyres are your best bet.

Most people use BFG All Terrain white lettered on 4x4s

ETA

Thin whitewalls are for classics imo

Hi, These are not tubes. They are a flat trim that can be used to "replicate" a proper whitewall tyre. They are fitted by deflating the tyre, breaking the bead and fitting the whitewall trim so that the inner edge is trapped between the wheel rim and the tyre bead. They work surprisingly well (much used on old customs), but do not work with any sort of curved sidewall and will not stand any kerbing.

Afternoon all, I have managed to purchase a set but I am having issues with cleaning them. They have got a brown tint (on the exhaust side of the car).

I have purchased this: -

Whilst it does clean them a little bit it doesn't get rid of the stain totally.

Any recommendations on what I can do / buy?

Neat bleach wiped over and left to dwell, then Brillo pads, one per wheel.

Rinse and repeat until bright white.

Don’t waste your money on the whitewall trims! They look OK until you kerb them - easily done - and they’re never right afterwards.

I junked mine and got a set of whitewalls from Old Town Autos in Nottingham. Might be worth trying them for the application you want. I found North Hants were very expensive when after a set of whitewalls for my sixties saloon.
