Tires with raised white letters? was created by Ray J
I am in need of some new tires. Presently, I have the Metzeler ME77 100/90 on the front and the Metzeler ME88 B16 130/90 on the back.
I like the raised white lettering on the back tire, but the newer ME880's either come all black, or with the whitewalls, but not with raised white lettering.

Any suggestions on finding something for my rear tire to match what I presently have on?

Bridgestone Spitfires come in either black, or RWL. I like them!

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I looked up the Spitfires and could not find a 130/100 for the rear tire, only 130/90. The same for Dunlop D404. Is the 130/100 uncommon?

I use the Spirtfires on my Z1. They seem closest in size & looks to the Goodyears. I can't stand the LARGE rwl offered by some tire manf. they look like something that should be on a nascar:sick:
My buddy with a 3600 mile 1976 900 LTD is going to try the Spitfires on his after he's seen mine and rode it. Seems he wants to save those Goodyears for some reason;)
Pat

And my rear is a 16 too

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

Thanks everyone for all the input. I think I will go with the Spitfires. Gotta have the white lettering!
