This has probably been covered before, but here goes anyway. I'm replacing my tires. I had the Dunlop qualifiers on there with the rwl. I was told that they are discontinued by two different mail order places and the Bridgestone Spitfires also with the rwl aren't available. What are ya'll using to keep the LTD original with those raised wite letters. Thanks Ron

Good luck with that,Ron.
Went throu the exact same thing myself.
I too,was using the Spitfires with the RWL,and yes,they are discontinued.
As a matter of fact,I just yesterday had a new Spitfire installed on my bike.Sad but true...it's not a RWL.:(

You could get raised black letter and color them white yourself.

Sandy is correct, we went through this on a thread about six months or so ago(?). At that time, the 16 inch rear RWL had been discontinued by most manufacturers (if not all)...the 19 inch fronts were still available, if memory serves me. Your only hope is to follow eBay and watch for someone dumping old stock 16 inch rear tires.

I believe in the previous thread Sandy wanted an 18in rear, because after the original post I purchased 16in rear and 19in front RWL Spitfires from Dennis Kirk.
