Whitewall tires

I am in the process of restoring my dads 1966 Ca77 and am having the hardest time locating tires. They are 3.25 x 16. I prefer a whitewall. Any recommendations? The only place I've been able to locate them is Coker.

Yup, they are the only ones. You can try to do your own with the porta walls but ???? I went with the Cokers myself. Just seemed like the right way to do it even though they are repops and from God knows where.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for your help.

If you are just going to use the bike for show and not a rider ,I'd recommend the Coker tires.
I had a set of Cokers on my first Dream about 8 years ago and the ride was frightening. The sidewalls are very very thin. Maybe they are making them better these days I don't know.

Cokers are for show ? .. Oops ! .. I've logged over 1,000 miles on my set in the last five weeks .. Was kind of worried after reading all the poor reviews here but so far so good .. Sidewall pressure while turning is increased I would think so I'm keeping a close watch on them .. Now I'd like to ride a bike alone with a set to see what really happens

The profile looks like it is completely at home on a sidecar rig.
