    CHENG SHIN tires

    Any opinions guys?

    Let me have them

    IF you can find them, the HI-Max is a very decent tire (they have been discontinued).

    It's even better when you consider the very low price.

    If you can't find them, the Shinko 712 is a reasonable alternative.

        Get them if you want them. They have not been discontinued so long that I would be worried about the date code yet.

          From what I have read, they are not discontinued, just no longer being imported

            Hi,

            What model Cheng Shin tire are you talking about? The Hi-Max tires were the favorite budget tire around here for a long time.


            Thank you for your indulgence,

              Shinko 230 seems like a good tire too. V-rated and belted construction.

                  No to thrilled with them. Pirrelli MT66 are a great tire and at a good price. That's what I've been running.
