Lets be blunt, the Cheng Shins that were on my 750 were shite in the extreme so just don't do it. The only thing holding you to the road, 2 very small patches of rubber. Value your life and pay a bit more for decent tyres. Try the matching back tyre Julie you will see what I mean. As for going out in the rain on them, are you mad. DONT BUY THEM.

Thanks for the advice Roy. I wouldn't fit them to a CB750/4, the bike is just too heavy for that sort of tyre. Money or having matching back and front tyres isn't the issue either. I always have softer compound rubber on the front of mid range bikes and I never have matching front and rear tyres. I fitted an Avon AM to the front of my CB550/4 which is quite soft compared to others and for my riding style, it is absolutely perfect. A soft front tyre does and always has, suited my riding style. Tyres are all down to what the rider feels confident with, not make or price.

Lovely soft compound which is what I like and it sticks to the road like shit to a blanket. I ride the 400 hard and have 100% confidence in the front tyre, will defo buy another when time to replace. I should add I don't have one of these fitted to the rear, I would wear it out in 500 miles 😀😀😀

Haha, no, I don't shit the blankets very often but as a Nurse, I have had to deal with plenty of it over the years 😀😀😀

There has been a lot of reports of cracking and failing Avon Roadriders when they first came out >> https://advrider.com/f/threads/avon-roadrider-failing.824610/

Anything to defend cheap nasty tyres? Come off it Trig that's one of the world's biggest tyre companies deaply involved in motor sport. Still don't buy Chinese rubbish whatever it is, most of it is landfill. That back tyre just squirmed around all over the place. Dangerous.
