Zaffiro II white tires. if anyone EVER gets a hold of some extras hook a home boy up.

semi-white vittoria rubino's is the closest i came to getting white tyres. why are the zaffiro's so hard to come by?

jonaent (Jon) · 2nd February 2008

Only place I can find them is here

chris crash · 2nd February 2008

they are only sold in japan....

where i am going over the summer.

adoubletap · 2nd February 2008

Look out for Dia Compe Gran Compe SS in white too... Japan only also. SS in a lightening bolt font always a winner.

tynan · 3rd February 2008

Me too !

Been looking for a while now, no luck :(

hippy · 3rd February 2008

Have you considered emailing the company or UK distributor? I would.
At least then they know people are wanting white tyres.

big mummy smeear · 3rd February 2008

hummmmmm

ss

hummmmm

nazi tires?

runcible rakan · 3rd February 2008

white stuff is such a crap idea.

dt · 3rd February 2008

I don't get white tires at all. You ride on them once and they get covered in cack, ride on them for a few weeks and they go that horrible yellow/brown colour

but then when its wet they go white again ;) . my all white tyre just gets manky dirty though, the black/white rubino's seem to be better though.

slaytanic1 · 3rd February 2008

what's the closest you can get to buying white tires in the UK?

Rubino Black/White:

turpe · 3rd February 2008

Also, with the Zaffiros, bear in mind that they are possibly the crappiest tyre that Vittoria make.

Rubino tpi = 120

Zaffiro tpi = 26(!)

hippy · 3rd February 2008

They ARE the 'crappiest' tyre that Vittoria make. But they are still a million times better than the shit Cuntinental pump out of their shitories.

turpe · 3rd February 2008

Agreed.

No, I mean the SS symbol:

chris crash · 3rd February 2008

they are more idaho... crystal falls idaho to be exact.

then the FBI took their compound away, and all the nazis cried.

hippy · 3rd February 2008

Is that a real pic ^^?

Wanker has "skin head" tattooed across his brow and isn't even a fkn skin head.. not only that he's got bleached hair.. what a fkn ladyboy.

turpe · 3rd February 2008

chris crash · 3rd February 2008

he considers himself to be a "pure breed"

In which case I'm happy to be of mixed heritage !

turpe · 3rd February 2008

Yep. He's a 'real American'. Not like those f%$king indians.

chris crash · 3rd February 2008

turpe · 3rd February 2008

Emphasis on the word 'mate'?

chris crash · 3rd February 2008

Nicholas · 3rd February 2008

He looks like a reasonable sort..

RPM · 3rd February 2008

see the fear in his eyes?

that's the thought of his first night on the wing with all the gangstas..

I'm sure they'll understand he's not really a racist and the tattoos are only painted on..

hippy · 3rd February 2008

You're puuurty blondey.. Git over here!

dogmatic · 3rd February 2008

Guess he drank too much and passed out first at a tattooing convention...

Good find, but it is not at all clear how you would go about ordering from that site ! :(

Bloody foreigners, why can't they speak 'British' ?

I will see what the foreign Japanese man says, if it is cool with him and the shipping is not prohibitive I could have him ship me something like 12 or 14 tyres (?)

Yep, I tried a few weeks ago to guess my way through the site dogmatic mentions above (with all the pictures) - managed to get some tyres in the basket but then hit a brickwall.

Apparently western credit cards are not accepted on most .jp websites, and many do not ship internationally.

Conan · 4th February 2008

ill be down for some of these too

briankwan · 4th February 2008

glad that i read abit of jap
from dogmatic's site, u need to register an account after adding all those tyres into shopping cart blah blah blah
and i don't think they ship overseas lol
