Cheng Shin Tyres

Nurse Julie:
Good idea Moorey. I personally wouldn't want one on the back wheel but that's because I would wear it out too quickly. At least you had a balanced response to the question, 50% like them, 50% loathe them 😀😀😁😁

Green1:
Julie Don't bother with Bridgstone Teflons I had them on my Ford Ranger. They lasted well, 70'000 miles mostly road use when I wasn't falling off it.  ::)

Haha, cheng shin are one of the biggest tyre manufacturers in the world.... you can bet they know how to make tyres.....  personally i like bridgestones (japanese company) or “jap crap” as all the british bikers used to say 40 years ago...  ;D

Going back a bit my gs125 came with bridgestones, probably original to the bike. Horrid, horrid tyres. My ntv650 came with Bridgestone battlax or whatever they are called - I hated those tyres too, especially after fitting maxxis tyres transformed the bikes handling. Some of the best tyres combos I have ever run on a bike have been budget. I'm not 100% sure but I think my kh125 had chen shin tyres when that was last on the road, before that it had Vee rubber tyres. It was one of the best handling bikes I ever had on either set of very budget tyres. My 500/4 I always ran on Avons because that's what it came with and it worked. Only criticism I would make is the rears do not last, unless you buy them, leave them in a dark cool shed for a few years before fitting, the difference is I could turn a sticky fresh Avon rear tyre into a bald one in about 2000 - 3000 miles but managed nearer 10k off a new old stock tyre. Sm mk2, they stick like the proverbial to a blanket, right to the bitter end. Once crossed the beacon beacons road in a blizzard with my BMW r80/7 ex plod bike, found on getting home the rear had gone from a bit thin on the tread - still legal,  to canvas but still it ran like it was on rails. My mate used to mock the fact the tyres on that bike featured 'chicken bands' of an extreme scale though there was a good reason for it, the 500/4 had stabilisers ( sidecar ) and when the tread started to look thin, it went over to the BMW to get a bit of extra life out of the edges of the tyre. Thrashed among b roads that stretched tyre life a good old bit.

Funny you should say that, Mrs Hairy had Maxxis tyres on her 650 shitehawk,, sorry, Nighthawk, they were really good in all weathers. Looked up the manufacturers website, and they are made by Cheng Shin tyre company!
