I've been using the Bridgestone Spitfire raised white lettering(RWL),but it looks like they may be discontinued.(the RWL ones,anyway)

The price was good,and they are great tires for the money.
I was paying around $150.00 each.

Who else makes a raised white lettering tire?

Thanks,you Hooligans!B)

Thanks for that info,Mario.
Some good friends of ours out here,run a bike shop,and I've been getting my tires from them for years now.I usually burn one off per season,lol(dam those oily roads)...anyway...turns out that they're going to buy the tire FOR me,because according to them...I'm a great guy!:ohmy:
I've helped them out a fair bit,and last weekend,I spent the evening out there,helping them get a new computer installed in the shop,etc.

But their supplier can no longer get the RWL spits(rear),and I would have to get a tire that they CAN still get from one of their suppliers.
I just found this out yesterday(that they're buying the tire for me),so I'll have to get out there and look through some of their supplier books.

It's too bad,cause I really liked the spitfires.:(

I'll keep ya posted.B)

www.denniskirk.com is showing that they still have RWL Spits in stock--and on sale :cheer:.

That's too bad if they're being discontinued. I too really like them. :(

Careful there, DK doesn't show a RWL Bridgestone 18 as in stock and all other Spitfire RWL seem to be on a closeout...so if you have a source, you better jump on it:)

Yes,McDroid...as far as I know,the Blackwall(BW) tires ARE still available.It's the RWL tires that appear to be discontinued(or soon to be).
Thanks bud.

Good eye on that D.K. site,btw.
Thanks Skyman,did you actually SEE an RWL on that site?

Yes, they're there. It's a little awkward, but in the size dropdown, scroll down to the bottom of the list. You will see some sizes repeated. Select one of those bottom ones, and the description will change to RWL.
