What were the "original" tires on a 1965 Honda Dre

[Simple]

Also, what about "Atlas" tires on one?
Anyone have a deal for buying new Firestones with 1.5" White Walls any where?

Original on my bike were Nittos with a small whitewall, about 3/4" I believe. As a matter of fact I still have the original Nittos in storage. I should sell them to someone who wants a museum piece 100% original.

Front was ribbed and back had kind of a checker pattern to it.

As for the firestones, I had some of those but they split and replaced them with the Cokers. As far as I know the Cokers are the ONLY white walls in the proper size for the 305 dreams.

The tires Coker sells are Firestones.

Pretty much the only source for whitewalls that fit a Dream.

firestone replicas. with the same tooling I suppose but they are not true firestones.

the firestones I had used back in the 70s were actually made by firestone.

the FireStones that Coker sells are repops made overseas. the availability has been a little spotty over the years. they are HORRIBLE tires for riding. unfortunately, there are no other options for a whitewall in that size. other than the glue on type.

+1 With Randy. Had a set of the coker whitewall tires. A very frightening ride. Nowhere near the original Firestone tires. The sidewalls are very very thin.
Many members here use "portawalls" with good results.
