I've done some searching on google and on the searchbar, but I can't find any info on where people are getting their white tires. I'm on the standard 26" x 1.75" tires my cruiser came with, and it's time for tires. Finding tires that size isn't too hard to do, but finding them in white is proving to be a challenge. Any good online retailers or is it a bike shop special order sort of thing?

Thanks for the link! I was looking for all-white tires, not just sidewalls. After browsing that link I found chainganglowrider and they have the felt bricks and other white tires. They seem to be out of stock on lots of them, but at least I know they are available somewhere. I was hoping they would be a little cheaper though...
Go straight to felt and get them if you like the bricks. They have a website and a check out. I got the white quick brick and like them on my Indian replica.
niagara cycle works. mail order place. has just about everything anyone could possibly need, except for deals on shipping...

Exactly! I've seen Quick and Thick Bricks on some sites as high as $100 a pair when you can get them directly from Felt for $50 pair for Quick and $60 pair for Thick.
I don't think you are going to find 26x1.75 in all white. There are 2.125", 2.35" (above) and 3" available. I use white 26x2.125 Kenda tires and they have worn well. However, they have a max recommended psi of 40 and I want a hirer psi, so after the riding season, I am thinking of getting the Felt Quick Bricks or Innovas which can be run at up to 65 psi.

hi, yes if you have room in the fork and chainstays, also the Kenda is rated 26x2.125 but is actaully more the size of a 1.9, tho you can have fenser problems going from Middle-weight frame and fenders, to balloon tires.
