for the past few nights I've been searching all over the place for 26x1.75 all white tires and have come up empty. anybody know if they're available in that size? 1.5s would work too.
the closest I've found are 26x1.95 .
 
lots of white walls in that size, but not too many all white tires.
 
Do a Google search for "white tire paint". There is a supposedly good make your own whitewall paint out there.
 
1.95 isn't that much larger than a 1.75, mountain bike use 1.95 or 2.1, I would try a 1.95 on the wheel you are going to use, and see if it work's you should be able to get a 1.95 tire to try . either borrow or get a free one from a friend or LBS
 
I have a 1.95 that I've tried on there, it does fit but with only about a 1/16 of an inch of clearance to the frame. I do have a 1.75 that I have on the front, tried it on the back and it gave me a bit more of a comfortable clearance to the frame.
