I have ridden about 19,000 miles on Cheng Shin tires in all sorts of weather. Well, not snow. They worked better for me that the Dunlops that came on my bike. In my family there are four bikes wearing Cheng Shin tires. Everybody likes them.

Just in case you think I take it easy and wear my tires flat in the middle. I have very little rubber left on the bottom of my foot pegs.

.They had a few more to sell at less than $40 a tire plus shipping ( $26.90--expensive I know). I cannot vouch for the seller but his feedback seems pretty good. I have heard the warehouses are expecting these tires this week but did not want to miss these.

I would be very interested in finding out if those tires actually make it to you. I hope they do. One ebay store I checked supposedly had them in stock but when I contacted them they informed me they did not and were not sure when they would. Anyway, I'm sure somebody has them. Please update us when/if you get them.

As for me, I just put Kenda Cruisers on. 130/90-15 rear & 100/90-16 front. Everything seems fine so far but I only have about 30 miles on them.

Samato,

good to hear that everything mounted up fine. Would you mind shooting a few pics of the results?

[samato]

Sure, I should be able to post some pics sometime tomorrow.

I did some searching and Cheng Shin and Maxxis appear to be one in the same company. So maybe they will sell the C906/C907 Himax tires or something similar under the Maxxis name next year.....

For everyone who has been waiting, I got the following reply from Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse:

If you go ahead and place the order it will put it on backorder. They are due in 7-18-08

Thanks,

I remember seeing something about the name change somewhere. Thanks for the reminder.

I just got my new set of cheng shin tires. I bought them from JcWhitney. They seem alittle soft is that normal for these tires.

Sorry for the delay in posting these pics. There's been A LOT of rain here lately plus I had a hard time finding the cable to connect my camera to the computer. These are pics of my bike with Kenda Cruiser tires - 100/90-16 front & 130/90-15 rear.

By the way, does this look wrong to anyone? The front wheel looks like it's shifted too far to the right. I hope I didn't put it on wrong. It does seem to be centered with the fender. Is this how it's supposed to look?
