I tried and i last only one month by wear out pretty fast. The cheapest motorcycle tyres I found were Cheng Shin from Taiwan. Tyre life was OK - grip was good enough for careful riding, but not as good as the big name brands. I've seen their Bicycle tyres offered as low as UK£7 - most shops seem to get away with charging about £10 though. There's one on the front right now - I've gone through about half dozen rear tyres of various brands since fitting the front. |

My experience with them is far worse than yours then - they certainly looked like tyres, but exhibited few of the characteristics like grip or handling that are normally associated with motorcycle tyres. So terrible, in fact, that I threw them out before they'd covered 1,000 miles (and that on a small bike on which I would have expected at least 7 or 8 times that). I even cut the beads to ensure that some unfortunate wouldn't attempt to use them in the misguided belief that they had found something of any value in the trash. I suppose it's unlikely they could have got worse, so I'm guessing they have improved to some extent since I last used them, but my experience was enough to put me off the brand for life.

They wear well, they don't puncture, they grip well enough in all conditions :-) It is noticeable that locally made tires, in the cheaper models, are much harder then other, more expensive brands. I was told by one tire shop (selling Michelins) that the local made cheap tires contained a lot of "carbon" to make them harder so that they lasted longer. I believe that the association is that poor people want their tires to last a long time. -- cheers, John B. |

While I wasn't all that slow, I always managed to avoid being in the serious scratcher category, and never owned a bike designed with that purpose in mind. Yes, I sometimes rode fairly fast, and cornered fairly hard, but only in places where I knew the road surface and could see the route was clear well ahead of where I was aiming to be. Years ago I had an ex-police Norton Commando 750. The huge fibreglass fairing didn't take much leaning to ground it. Every night on the way to college, there was a particular bend that allowed me to grind a little more ground clearance into the bottom of the fairing. |

That's not much consolation to your nearest and dearest if the result is that you don't live as long as the tyre Well, the majority either ride a bicycle to the market and home with the groceries, very upright and slowly, or they have 120 cc motorcycles and the death rate for motorcyclists here is rather high - Thailand is in the highest 5 countries in the world for traffic deaths and ~70% of them are motorcycles. So perhaps the hard tires are acceptable :-) -- cheers, John B. |
