PLEASE READ OUR INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS, AND CAUTIONS AGAINST TRYING PORTAWALLS ON (SMALL) RADIAL TIRES BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR BUYING DECISION.

ALL SIZES LISTED ARE IN STOCK.

Portawalls, also known as, "white wall inserts", slap-ons, Mickies, fake white walls, etc., (depending on where you were raised), are currently available in a variety of wheel sizes and widths. Portawalls were originally designed to work on bias ply tires some 50 years ago, not today's radials. Bias tires have a flat rigid sidewall, and a much higher profile (aspect ratio) than radial tires. There is a lesser likelihood of them adhering properly to a radial because of the radius and flexibility of it's sidewall. The lower the profile of a radial, the less likely you will be pleased with the results. Larger radials with a 75 profile seem to work fairly well, but we do not recommend trying them on many of today's popular 60 profiles and smaller. For radials, we suggest the narrower widths, so they won't extend beyond the radius of the sidewall.

Installation is critical and the sidewalls have to be extremely clean to increase your success rate. We recommend a de-greasing agent, not a solvent be used to wipe between the tire and the rim to ensure that the area is very clean. DO NOT use a soapy compound, or the portawalls will slip out during re-inflation. Further success may be achieved by keeping radial tires at maximum allowable inflation and with the use of inner tubes to firm up the sidewalls so they don't flex so much.

PORTAWALLS ARE NOT RETURNABLE, unless you've selected the wrong wheel size and they are unopened, in original packaging.
