Firestone Whitewalls from Vintage Tyres at The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu: Not cheap  and to be honest, not suited to every car colour. In my opinion they look good with darker colours.

Hi I am contacting you from a company called Longstone Tyres, with something that I hope will be of interest. I have just managed to get some white wall tyres for Beetles at the reasonable price of £ 89 + VAT. this is a 155SR15 tyre. with a 25mm white wall until now I have only been able to find white tyres at much higher prices of well over £ 100. I can offer a discount to your members that offer a set. i can also send you a picture iof you are interested Regards Dougal

sorry should have made my question clearer, how deep is the white band? as they come in different sizes 😎

Didn't someone once produce full white walls that you can add to the tyres.:?

However, is an early VW original with white walls, were they actually sold new with them. :roll:

Whitewall crossply tyres, 560/15- so far in my (short & limited) search, I've seen Firestone, US Royal & Coker.

Any thoughts on which is the best?

You can get whitewall disks that are held in place by the tyre, but they're not great - if you don't put some special grease under them they can wear through the tyre and be quite dangerous.
