k guys, i have never bought a street bike tire before, so i was looking at these.... any comments?

Cheng Shin Marquis C822


Cheng Shin c907


kenda k657


Cheng Shin c915


Just looking at price and tread a little.... im leaning towards the c907 cheng shin.

 

ive used cheng sing before there an alright tire. i never had any problems with them. ive never used a kenda tho so i can;t say much about them

 

I have never heard of any of these brands and I have been on two wheels for years. Are those tires specific to late model bikes?

 

Eric, list your rim sizes. Hate to see you on a $50 tire

 

my back tire is 130 90 17... kinda bastard size... Im sorry i think when you get up into the 60$ and up price range thats crazy, i can buy tires for my wifes car close to the same price.... like exhausts, the system iput on the klx was 450$, i could have put a complete cat back system on my truck for that price... wtf.......

 

easy killer he's not hanging off the seat copping major leanage i think he'll be fine for now with that tire. ive used the "50 dollar tire" and had no issues. heck the bike was only 600$ should not have to have tires that are more$ than the bike...lol

 

thats what im sayin.... its not a zx 10 or anything.... i think ill get that 907

 

I did not think that hanging off was of importance. But some cornering ability is always a good thing.

 

sorry drag i ment no disrespect. but the price of a tire does not determin if the tire is good or not, seeing you've had no experinence with theses tires i don't see how you can rate their cornering ability.

I see where you guys are coming from, What I think Drag is trying to say is that Cash shouldnt be the only determining factor. If you lose a tire on the street you can lose your life as well. Check all angles and if you can find a good safe tire for $50 go for it, but a better one for 10-20 bucks more shouldnt be counted out. I know budget is a factor but you wouldnt buy your gear based soley on price.

But if HD bashes Drag that hard over it, I'd like to try those tires myself.
