They will ship to the U.S no problem -- not necessarily the cheapest option, but if you want K82's you can surely get them.

K82's were rated as a 'best buy' by Classic Bike Magazine a few years back, and I had them on my '66 Dream (and currently have them on my SuperHawk). A very confidence-inspiring tire indeed.

The Mitas (formerly known as Barum) -- well, they're kinda like Cheng Shin tires.

Being new I've been reading all sorts of threads and hating to drag up old posts I figured this one is still reasonably current. Do these Dunlop's have the white letters as shown? Most options I've seen I don't care much for. I like these outside of the lettering as opposed to white wall.

I've made white letter car tires into white walls before. I'm wondering if the same can be done here? I'd think so if indeed these are white letter tires.

The rears on mine now are Inoue's. Some obvious age. My front is a Nitto 77. Obvious not the original so I'm wondering when these were discontinued?
