Cheng Shin Hi-Max Tires

I needed tires for my GS650G Cafe Project and remembered all the kind things said of the Cheng Shin Hi-Max tires. It seems that most people on this forum seem to believe that the performance is great for the price, and even if the price is not considered. So, I finally decided to try a set. Both tires, delivered for less than $100 ..... I'll give them an objective trial.

So, today I ordered a set from Shadetree Powersports. They had plenty in stock, if anyone else is seeking them. I had read several posts previously which said that they were scarce. Anyway, I'll let you all know what I think of this tire. That is, assuming anyone cares what I think HAHAHA.

The weather is supposed to be warm on Friday... maybe I'll be able to ride.

Later .....
 
WOW, $39 per tire, cool.
Do they ship tires to Canada though?:confused:
My Wife's brand new Yamaha came with Chen Shin tires

I don't know the answer to your question about shipping to Canada. They have 2 outlets, according to their flyer, located in Middlefield, OH and Big lake, Minnesota. So, I would imagine that the shipping would be considerably less than, say, Chaparral in So. Cal. You could phone them to inquire, 888-742-3387.

Hey, I just noticed that the phone number is listed as "Order USA/Canada Toll Free..." Maybe you'll have some new, inexpensive tires, too.:)
 
We wore out a set of Hi-Max tires on my wife's 850L. Took three seasons and 14,000 miles to do it, but we did it. :dancing:

Got another set at Tires Unlimited.
Since the supply is running thin, they ask you to call them for availability before placing your order.

I just got the rear tire today ..... fast shipping! The invoice, however, listed the tire as a close out. So, hopefully anyone interested can still get them before they are totally gone. Good luck.
 
Bike Bandit doesn't show these as on closeout....:-k

I've been planning on buying them all winter, just been procrastinating.
I'm a wholesaler of Maxxis tires (auto&lt), and since the Maxxis Classic White Wall isn't available in our sizes, the HiMax was my next choice. I don't have
rights to motorcycle tires, so Bike Bandit where I had planned on buying.


(Cheng Shin Rubber is Maxxis, btw)
