Cheng Shin Tyres
Trigger:
One of the biggest tyre companies involved with advertising ;)
If the road surface is shite and the rider is shite, it doesn't matter what tyre you are using it will be shit ;D ;D ;D
I was at silverstone some years ago and i asked a team why they had gone for that type of tyre ? The reply was, we get them for free and no one else has offered us free tyres for this season.
A CST tyre will squirm all over the road on a 750 as, it is too soft for that weight on the rear.

Wooo hit a raw nerve there have I Trig. Wasn't aware that the TT course was a rubbish surface and I have been riding since I was 16. Better tell Silvers to stop selling them for the 750. But your right they are not suitable for the bigger bikes at all, silly soft tread pattern and bendy side walls. This is exactly what I'm talking about, Cheng shin make tyres in that size for that application and they are crap. So why would you trust a company like that. All Chinese stuff is rubbish so why risk your life for a few quid when you don't have to. People constantly bang on about cheap foreign pattern parts are not going on my bike so why are these rubbish tyres getting fitted.

You are fitting cheap Chinese parts to your bike though Roy. Many original parts in Honda bags are now made in China, Tiwan and the Philippines, it actually says it on the bags. But that is not the point. I would not fit Cheng Shin Tyres to a CB750/4 and I wouldn't advise anyone else to either.

Going to leave it there. People can decide for themselves. We're heading for a never back down situation here.

Agree, its like the 'which oil' debate. In the meantime I'm going to get 4 new tyres fitted to my Freelander....I wonder if Land Rover sell Cheng Shins, always worth an ask 😀😀😀😀😀
